"Happy Enough" lyrics

"Happy Enough"

I am my father's first and only son
And my family worked until the job was done
We didn't have much but we still had some
And I learned to be happy enough

I'm proud of everything I've earned and own
I built a business and I built a home
Someday you'll read it on my slate headstone
That I was happy enough

Keep your head down
And enjoy what's around you
Make solid ground on happy enough
The way that I see it
I have what I need
As long as I breathe, I'm happy enough

I get by on happy enough
I get by on happy enough (I get by)
(Happy enough)

I know you mean it and I envy that
I wish I felt that way too
But you've got a house, your health, a job, a husband
Girl, what else do you want?
We can't have it all
(Ooh, happy enough)

Might as well take what's coming your way
Face it and say, "I'm happy enough."
Keep your head down
Enjoy what's around you
Make solid ground on happy enough
