Down by the lost highway cafe
I met a man there with a map in his hands
He said Im a little bit confused
And Im not sure where I am
He said Im trying to find this place
Been trying to get there for a long, long time
Then he smiled and looked away and asked me if Id heard of happiness
I told him it just might take a while
Maybe some years and a lot of miles
Go down the road till you hit partyville
Dont stop unless youre looking for cheap thrills
Go past love till you hear wedding bells
Stop at honeymoon and rest a spell
You might get lost on the ways my guess
It aint easy finding happiness
He said I think I understand
I better go before the sun goes down
Cause its hard to see at night
And I just dont trust my eyes anymore
I said good luck and watched him leave
He hit the fast lane then he disappeared
Just another weary traveler like so many trying to find his way back home
Theres so many stops along the way
You keep hoping that theyll come a day
I shouldve told him
But I think he knows
So many places he shouldnt go
So many souls that get turned around
Looking and wondering why it cant be found
Its a straight shot past loneliness
Why cant we seem to find happiness
Its easy to get turned around I guess
On the road to happiness
