Pursuit of Happiness

Took a heartbreak off the coast of Maine Came up short and I tried again The New York stole the heart right off my sleeve Fell asleep with a broken wheel, and something kept me rolling still Both eyes closed waiting for the American dream Yeah, I'm running just as fast as my heart can Some call me a fool and some just call it restlessness But I keep on running changing tires and changing plans I call it my pursuit of happiness Found a song in Carolina left a tip at every dinner Always running late on Eastern time Put a hundred in the offering plate And wondered if those pearly gates would open if I found the perfect rhyme Yeah, I'm running just as fast as my heart can Some call me a fool and some just call it restlessness But I keep on running changing tires and changing plans I call it my pursuit of happiness It's a stranger, it's a dollar, it's my name on a big marquee It's a million miles away, and it's right in front of me Yeah, I keep on running just as fast as my heart can Some call me a fool and some just call it restlessness But I keep on running (I keep on running) changing tires and changing plans I call it my pursuit of happiness Yeah, it's all just my pursuit of happiness
