Life, Love, And Happiness (Entertainer’s Lament) Lyrics by Flatland Cavalry
Wisdom rarely whispers
From a back room down the hall
Or leave you signs and symbols
In the shadows on a wall
There’s a perfect picture
Bigger than you realize
When you’re dreamin’ with your heart
Ain’t no need to close your eyes
Kindness ain’t a weakness
And the strong always survive
Filling holes with materials
Won’t make you feel alive
Life is more than ninety minutes
Love is more than just a song
Happiness is when you “make it”
You can’t take it when you’re gone
Lettin’ go is gettin’ everything you never had
Freedom is a feeling, finding God amidst the bad
‘Cause there’s a perfect picture
Bigger than you realize
When you’re dreamin’ with your heart
Ain’t no need to close your eyes
Life is more than ninety minutes
Love is more than just a song
Happiness is when you “make it”
You can’t take it when you’re gone
So, hop in the ragtop’s waiting
Get behind the wheel and drive
Life’s the wind blowin’ through your hair
And the sparkle in your eye
