Found myself looking in all the wrong places
Searching for something I could never find
Running in circles - Chasing a dream
I was destined to lose - In a race against time

Where was this paradise they said could be found
Then I heard a voice inside - You're living it now

Then it hit me - On my way to rapid city
A revelation - We don't need a destination
Doesn't matter which direction that we go
There is no road to happiness
Oh no - Happiness is the road

My life was a mystery - A whirlwind of questions
Looking for answers - Without a single clue
I walked in the shadows - Hiding from the light
I was lost in confusion - Of which path to choose

Where is the ecstasy they say could be found
Take a look around you boy - It's here and it's now

Then it hit me - On my way to rapid city
A revelation - We don't need a destination
Doesn't matter which direction that we go
There is no road to happiness
Oh no - Happiness is the road

Take all your baggage babe and each broken dream
Wrap it up in yesterday's news and cast it downstream

Then it hit me - On my way to rapid city
A revelation - We don't need a destination
Doesn't matter which direction that we go
When you believe the streets are paved with gold
There is no road to happiness
Oh no - Happiness is the road

Happiness is the road
Happiness is the road
Happiness is the road
