This Way to Happiness lyrics
by Glenn Frey
[Verse 1]
Way outta town on some midnight highway
Headed nowhere, was just drivin' by myself
The night was cold, the wind was blowin'
Me, I felt like I was someone else
[Pre-Chorus]
I was achin', I was alone
No destination, so far away from home
Suddenly I find myself callin' to the heavens above
Please send me someone to love
[Chorus]
Which way to happiness? Over the mountain
Which way to freedom? Just across the sea
Lord, I been searchin' for what seems like forever, now
Which way to happiness for someone like me? Woo!
Yeah
Ah, wow
[Verse 2]
It seems like I spend my whole life runnin'
Runnin' away from what I couldn't be
Down some endless road just south of nowhere
Always movin' but never really free
[Pre-Chorus]
I had a dream, I said a prayer
Just like the answer, you were standin' there
Like a neon sign that was fifteen stories tall
I could hear the angels call
[Chorus]
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, you and me
[Verse 3]
I've rolled this rig from coast to coast
I've seen a lot, I've done more than most
I was like a sailor lost at sea
When, like an angel from above, you came down and rescued me
[Chorus]
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, you and me
[Outro]
This way to happiness
Yeah, yeah, yeah
All right
This way to happiness
Yeah, yeah, yeah
All right
I got to tell ya
Oh, it's bigger than yourself
When you belong to someone else
Oh, yeah
