This Way to Happiness
(Frey/Oliver/Tempchin)


Way out of town, I was on a midnight highway
Middle of nowhere just drivin' by myself
Night was cold, the wind was blowin'
Me, I felt like I was someone else
I was achin', I was alone
No destination, so far away from home
Suddenly I found myself callin' to the heavens above
Please send me someone to love

Which way to happiness
Over the mountain
Which way to freedom
Just across the sea
The love I'd been searchin' for
Seems like forever now
Which way to happiness
For someone like me

Seems like I spent my whole life runnin'
Runnin' away from what I could be
On some endless road just south of nowhere
Always movin', but never really free
I had a dream, I said a prayer
Just like the answer, you were standin' there
A neon sign that was fifteen stories tall
I could hear the angels call

This way to happiness
The train is leavin'
Over the mountain
Down to the sea
The highway to freedom is when you start believin'
This way to happiness
For you and me

I rolled this rig from coast to coast
Seen a lot I've done more than most
I was like a sailor lost at sea
But like an angel from above you came down and rescued me

This way to happiness
The train is leavin'
Over the mountain
Down to the sea
The highway to freedom
Is when you start believin'
This way to happiness.
