A Happy Guy

Ricky Nelson


Some guys like a 9 to 5 job 
and a house with a white picket fence 
some guys live for that weekly pay check 
but to me it don't make much sense 
now I dont like a tight collar 
or a suit with a matching tie 
I like to pick up and go where the four winds blow 

I steer clear of sweet talkin' gals 
they gotta wedding bells on their mind 
they want a guy to stay home every night 
but me I'm a different kind 

I move when I'm ready  
and I don't have to tell you why 
I just grab my hat  
and leave where I'm at 
and that's why I'm a happy guy 

You can look for me when Im passing through  
and Ill stay awhile in your town 
we can live it up and let the good times roll 
but dont try to settle me down 

No girls gonna chain me! 
I was born with a roving eye 
and when the thrill is gone  
I'll be moving on  

and that's why im a happy guy
