Independently Happy

Lyrics

[Verse 1:] I feel that it's hard enough to say good-bye I feel there's the water, should I sink or dive? An empty plate, fill up my sentimental morning star And I steal the art of putting truth in a lie And I still want the girl that really caught my eye But, oh, she lives in Oklahoma City, far away from me Well, there's an empty hope chest I quit the dope quest And remain independently happy [Chorus:] I said I'm finally happy Happy Independently happy [Verse 2:] And I deal with the fact that I've forgiven the worst And I feel that my social behavior May seem somewhat unrehearsed But another page A sullen rage And I'll be back to my normal self [Chorus:] I'm finally happy Happy Independently happy [Bridge:] So I drive to the edge of my considerate plain And I apologize to the people I hurt on the way But I I wipe the slate clean I kick the daydream And remain independently happy [Chorus:] I said I'm finally happy Happy Independently Happy I'm happy I'm independently, I'm independently
