"Who Gets to Be Happy" lyrics

I said I wanted a castle in the clouds
So you built me a ladder to the sky
And I'm finding out all these years you've missed the ground
I didn't know you were terrified of heights
Who gets to be happy

You always say you were born to be a father
Breaking me watching you patiently wait
And I kept saying give me two years longer
What happens when two years is too late

Who gets to be happy
Who gets to survive
Baby, me and you
'Cause somebody's drowning
Keeping the other alive
Tell me who
Gets to be happy
And when does it get to be you

You went from wide open spaces out in Georgia
To waking up in a condo next to me
And I know this ain't the life you dreamt for yeah
Chasing my dreams with me to Tennessee

Who gets to be happy
Who gets to survive
Baby, me and you
'Cause somebody's drowning
Keeping the other alive
Tell me who
Gets to be happy
And when does it get to be you

Oh and I promise one day
I'll give back what you had to give up
And I promise once I've reached the spires
You've been helping me touch
You'll get your dream house in Blueridge
A family with two kids
And everything you deserve
And it won't be
Who gets to be happy
Who gets to be happy
Oh!
Who gets to be happy
Who gets to survive
Baby, me and you
Ain't nobody drowning
Just keeping the other alive
As long as you
Get to be happy
Then baby I'll be happy too
