If It Makes You Happy (Live from the Ryman/2019) - Sheryl Crow

Lyrics by：Sheryl Crow/Jeff Trott

Composed by：Sheryl Crow/Jeff Trott

I've been long a long way from here

Put on a poncho played for mosquitoes

And drank 'til I was thirsty again

We went searching through thrift store jungles

Found Geronimo's rifle Marilyn's shampoo

And Benny Goodman's corset and pen

Well okay I made this up

I promised you I'd never give up

If it makes you happy

It can't be that bad

If it makes you happy

Then why the hell are you so sad

You get down real low down

You listen to Coltrane derail your own train

Well who hasn't been there before

I come 'round around the hard way

Bring you comics in bed scrape the mold off the bread

And serve you French toast again

Well okay I still get stoned

I'm not the kind of girl you'd take home

If it makes you happy

It can't be that bad

If it makes you happy

Then why the hell are you so sad

If it makes you happy

It can't be that bad

If it makes you happy

Then why the hell are you so sad

We've been far far away from here

Put on a poncho played for mosquitoes

And everywhere in between

Well okay we get along

So what if right now everything's wrong

If it makes you happy

It can't be that bad

If it makes you happy

Then why the hell are you so sad

If it makes you happy

It can't be that bad

If it makes you happy

Then why the hell are you so sad
