Happiness Is A Good Place To Visit But It Was So Sad In Fayetteville lyrics

Jerry Jeff Walker



If there`s anything in this world you want

Better go for yourself

Learn to pick it up with your own two hands

Don`t count on somebody else



If there`s a dream that you are working on

Don`t be surprised

If any old thing that you`re counting on

Just suddenly dies

Got to plan in advance what you know you`ll need

And carry it up on your back

Got to keep the things you need really close at hand

And tote them in your bag



When you`re alone be ready for rain to fall

On a sunny day

If ends just meet be ready to go outside

And break a leg

You may as well get it straight before you start

You`ve got a general plan

To walk a road here to there but be prepared

To dig it where you land



If lady luck supposed to come across

She won`t come through

If there`e the slightest doubt things could go wrong

It`s bound to fall on you

Oh I know it`s nice to think that things work out

And we`ll all make our goal

But I think a man is wise to only count upon

What his own two hands can hold



If by some chance your world should turn on you

Come a tumblin down

You`ll be at the place that I was at

When I wrote this song
