THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS (a blues song)
copyright 1996 by r. frisco
He loves his lady but he spends all his nights alone.
He loves his freedom but he stays in a little box of stone.
He's got the low-down blues right down to the bone.
He never hurt nobody; he never killed no one.
He never robbed nobody; he never scared no one.
The pursuit of happiness was the crime he done.
The pursuit of happiness in the first degree;
They came and took him away; it was a tragedy.
It could happen to you; it could happen to me.
Give me life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
Seems like the authorities think it's just empty words, I guess,
To take away life and liberty for the pursuit of happiness.
-Rock
