LYRICS
I've been long, a long way from here
I put on a poncho, played for mosquitos
Drank 'til I was thirsty again
We went searching through thrift store jungles
Found Geronimo's rifle, Marilyn's lipstick
And Benny Goodman's corset and pen
Well ok, I made this up
I promised you I'd never give up
If it makes you happy
It can't be that bad
If it makes you happy
Then why the hell are you so sad
You get down, real low down
You listen to Coltrane, derail your own train
Who hasn't been there before
I come around, around the hard way
Bring your comics in bed, scrape the mold off the bread
And serve you french toast again
Well ok, I still get stoned
Well I'm not the kind of girl you take home
If it makes you happy
It can't be that bad
If it makes you happy
Then why the hell are you so sad
[x2]
We've been far, far away from here
We put on a poncho, played for mosquitos
And everywhere in between
Well alright, we get along
So what if right now everything's wrong
If it makes you happy
It can't be that bad
If it makes you happy
Then why the hell are you so sad
[x2]
