Tim Nichols - Happy As We Wanna Be lyrics

[Verse 1] I've hung out with people with money And I've hung out with people without I've had friends in high cotton honey And friends with beans for a bank account Now what I've learned is too short for a book And too long for a bumper sticker In this ole world there ain't nothin' for sure But far as I can figure [Chorus] You can't get rich in Las Vegas You can't retire on minimum wages But with a little bit of love And some cable TV We can be happy, relatively happy Cool as a gla** of iced tea Happy as we wanna be [Verse 2] Life dishes out some difficult lessons Life might hit us with a couple low blows But when we stop and count up our blessin's It takes ten fingers and a couple of toes Now I've found out what really counts Is what they don't teach in college 'Cause it says right here on page number one In the book of common knowledge [Chorus] You can't get rich in Las Vegas You can't retire on minimum wages But with a little bit of love And some cable TV We can be happy, relatively happy Cool as a gla** of iced tea Happy as we wanna be
