Pursuit of Happiness Songtext
von Miranda Lambert

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
