Happy Tracks

(Ray Pennington)



I know that you've heard people say many many times

You don't pass through this world but once you'll get yours and I'll get mine

But I've got a philosophy I believe I'd rather go by

And if you'll just listen you may want to give it a try.



Leave a lotta happy tracks as you go down life's road

Leave a lotta happy tracks everywhere you go

Leave a lotta happy tracks and keep this in mind

Others will have to follow in the path you leave behind.



As you walk the tangle streets of life notice your fellow man

And when he gets in trouble lend him a helping hand

Sow good seeds in your fields of life as you go along

Others reap your happiness a long time after you're gone.



Leave a lotta happy tracks as you go down life's road

Leave a lotta happy tracks everywhere you go

Leave a lotta happy tracks and keep this in mind

Others will have to follow in the path you leave behind.

Don't ever use a good friend for a personal game

To game wealth and lose one friend would only be in vain

Let your happy tracks be many leave them everywhere you go

Others will have to harvest each and every seed you sow.



Leave a lotta happy tracks as you go down life's road

Leave a lotta happy tracks everywhere you go

Leave a lotta happy tracks and keep this in mind

Others will have to follow in the path you leave behind.



Others will have to follow in the path you leave behind...
