Happy Tracks
Jim Ed Brown and the Browns · The Three Bells [Bear Family] [1993]
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.
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
Let 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...
