Took a heartbreak off the coast of Maine Came up short and I tried again Then New York stole the heart right off my sleeve Fell asleep with a broken wheel And something kept me rolling still
Both eyes closed waiting for the American dream
Yeah, I´m runnin´ just as fast as my heart can Some call me a fool and some just call it restlessness But I keep on runnin´ Changing tires and changing plans I call it my pursuit of happiness
Found a song in Carolina Left a tip at every diner Always running late on Eastern time Put a hundred in the offering plate And wondered if those pearly gates Would open if I found the perfect rhyme Yeah, I´m runnin´ just as fast as my heart can Some call me a fool and some just call it restlessness
But I keep on runnin´ Changing tires and changing plans I call it my pursuit of happiness
It´s a stranger, it´s a dollar, it´s my name on a big marquee It´s a million miles away, and it´s right in front of me
Yeah, I keep on runnin´ just as fast as my heart can Some call me a fool and some just call it restlessness But I keep on runnin´ Changing tires and changing plans I call it my pursuit of happiness
