Jerry Reed - I'm A Happy Man lyrics

Woke up this morning a smile on my face Looked out at the world what a beautiful place The sun's shinin' in a blue sky above A home and family surrounded with love And I'm a happy man a happy man I won't take time to be sad I am a happy man a happy man who's thankful and so glad That I've been taught not to pity myself but live every moment of life that's left There's just not enough time to be anything else Anything else but a happy man I won't be bitter cause I won't take time For that kind of thinkin' to clutter my mind A man just has such a little while To spread a little joy and give a smile So I'm a happy man a happy man... I've had misfortune to visit on me To break my weary spirit and bring me to my knees But a man can never learn to appreciate this life Till his joy's been mixed with trouble and strife So I'm a happy man a happy man...
