(Norma Jean)
I know that my surroundings
Aren't the very best
But my soul's on fire
And won't let me rest
I'm doing things
I really shouldn't do I guess
I'm just pursuing happiness
I'm living much too fast
A pace with two to care
I'm just looking for a dream
That I can share
I'm sinking fast
But no one hears my SOS
I'm just pursuing happiness
Almost everyone I know
Has someone to worry
Someone to cheer them when they're low
So if I walk by you
In too big a hurry
It's because I got no place to go
Wherever people gather
That's where I'll be found
In hope the strong warm hand
Will reach and slow me down
Behind me I can feel that demon loneliness
I'm just pursuing happiness
Almost everyone I know
Has someone to worry
Someone to cheer them when they're low
So if I walk by you
In too big a hurry
It's because I got no place to go
Wherever people gather
That's where I'll be found
In hope the strong warm hand
Will reach and slow me down
Behind me I can feel that demon loneliness
I'm just pursuing happiness
I'm just pursuing happiness
I'm just pursuing happiness
