Happiness Is a Good Place to Visit but It Was so Sad in Fayetteville

Happiness Is a Good Place to Visit but It Was so Sad in Fayetteville - Jerry Jeff Walker

If there's anything in this world you want

Better go for yourself

Learn to pick it up with your own two hands

Don't count on somebody else

If there's a dream that you are working on

Don't be surprised

If any old thing that you're counting on

Just suddenly dies

Got to plan in advance what you know you'll need

And carry it up on your back

Got to keep the things you need really close at hand

And tote them in your bag

When you're alone be ready for rain to fall

On a sunny day

If ends just meet be ready to go outside

And break a leg

You may as well get it straight before you start

You've got a general plan

To walk a road here to there but be prepared

To dig it where you land

If lady luck supposed to come across

She won't come through

If there'e the slightest doubt things could go wrong

It's bound to fall on you

Oh I know it's nice to think that things work out

And we'll all make our goal

But I think a man is wise to only count upon

What his own two hands can hold

If by some chance your world should turn on you

Come a tumblin down

You'll be at the place that I was at

When I wrote this song

Yeah happiness is a good place to visit

But it was so sad in Fayetteville

Yeah a man has to count on his own two

Hands you know

Yeah say 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
