down at the lost highway cafe i met a man there with a map in his hand he said i m a little bit confused and i m not sure where i am he said i m 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 i d heard of happiness i told him that it just might take a while maybe some years and a lotta miles go down the road to you hit partyville don t stop unless you re lookin for cheap thrills go past love to you hear wedding bells stop and honeymoon and rest a spell you might get lost on the way is my guess it ain t easy finding happiness he said i think i understand i better go before the sun goes down cause it s hard to see at night and i just don t trust my eyes anymore i said goodluck and watched him leave he hit the fastlane then he disappeared just another weary traveller like so many trying to find his way back home there s so many stops along the way you keep on hoping that there ll come a day i should have told him but i think he knows so many places where he shouldn t go so many souls that get turned around lookin and wonderin why it can t be found it s a straight shot past loneliness why can t we seem to find happiness it s easy to get turned around i guess on the road to happiness
