Maybe just for a day probably, but it was something!! lol

V1
I got three lawn mowers, yeah I got it made
One of them runs and two are on display
A blown head gaskets on my crv
But it’s run til I run out of antifreeze
I don’t have time to waste about what it means

Chorus
So I chose to be happy in the place I’m in
I’m not losin so I call it a win
It’s all about what I do with what I have
And I’m not sayin that I don’t want more
It’s not a team sport unless you’re keepin score
I just gotta wonder do I really give a damn
About the Secret to Hap E Ness

V2
The lights went out cus it’s pourin again
I’m on the front porch had to phone a friend
Put a big bag of charcoal on the propane grill
By the free hot tub that’s beginning to fill
At the end of the day, I’m till just livin the dream

Chorus
So I chose to be happy in the place I’m in
I’m not losin so I call it a win
It’s all about what I do with what I have
And I’m not sayin that I don’t want more
It’s not a team sport unless you’re keepin score
I just gotta wonder do I really give a damn
About the Secret to Hap E Ness

Bridge
Cus we all have **** that hits the fan
We get knocked down and then run over again
If this sounds familiar just raise your hand
We’re all in the same damn mess

Outro
And I’m not willing to believe all the hype
Believe what you want I’m not lookin to fight
I don’t need the stuff their selling, right? I guess
That’s the secret to Hap E Ness
Yeah that’s the secret to Hap E Ness
