Lyrics

[Verse 1] Took a heartbreak off the coast of Maine, came up short and I tried again Then New York stole the heart right off my sleeve Fell asleep with a broken wheel and something kept me rolling still Both eyes closed, waiting for the American dream [Chorus] Yeah, I'm runnin' just as fast as my heart can Some call me a fool and some just call it restlessness But I keep on runnin', changing tires and changing plans I call it my pursuit of happiness [Verse 2] Found a song in Carolina, left a tip at every diner Always running late on Eastern time Put a hundred in the offering plate and wondered if those pearly gates Would open if I found the perfect rhyme [Chorus] Yeah, I'm runnin' just as fast as my heart can Some call me a fool and some just call it restlessness But I keep on runnin', changing tires and changing plans I call it my pursuit of happiness [Bridge] It's a stranger, it's a dollar It's my name on a big marquee It's a million miles away And it's right in front of me [Chorus] Yeah, I keep on runnin' just as fast as my heart can Some call me a fool and some just call it restlessness But I keep on runnin', changing tires and changing plans I call it my pursuit of happiness [Refrain] Yeah, it's all just my pursuit of happiness
