Happy Song

The halls look different,

where the pictures used to be

In that spot right there

Used to hang my favorite memory

There’s no table in the kitchen

Just a folding chair

Our house can’t be a home

If you’re not living there

I still remember the last thing you said to me

With tears in your eyes as you turned to leave

Write me a happy song

One that makes me smile

I know there’s one in ya

Even though it’s been a while

Try to find something

That you can believe in

And write me a happy song

One that will keep me from leaving

We’ve all got demons

Mine are just easy to see

You know I fought like hell

But they had their grip on me

You know I love you more than whiskey

But you had to put that to the test

And now this house is dark and empty

But it’s probably for your best

I wish I would have turned my life around

I never knew that silence could ever be this loud

Write me a happy song

One that makes me smile

I know there’s one in ya

Even though it’s been a while

Try to find something

That you can believe in

And write me a happy song

One that will keep me from leaving

A hard pack and a butane lighter

Elijah Craig and Travis Tritt vinyl

That night in the dark I fell to my knees

Cried out to God, can you help me please

Help me write her a happy song

One that can make her smile

I know You can do it

Even though we haven’t talked in awhile

Help me find something

That I can believe in

Help me write her a happy song

One that’ll keep her from leaving

Write me a happy song

One that will keep her from leaving
