Happy as We Wanna Be

I've hung out with people with money
And I've hung out with people without
I've had friends in high cotton honey
And friends with beans for a bank account
Now what I've learned is too short for a book
And too long for a bumper sticker
In this whole world, there ain't nothing for sure
But far as I can figure
You can't get rich in Las Vegas
Can't retire on minimum wages
But with a little bit of love and some cable TV
We can be happy, relatively happy
Cool as a glass of iced tea
Happy as we wanna be
Life dishes out some difficult lessons
Life might hit us with a couple of blows
But when we stop and count up our blessings
It takes ten fingers and a couple of tows
Yeah, I found what really counts
Is what they don't teach in college
'Cause it says right here on page no. 1
In the book of common knowledge
You can't get rich in Las Vegas
Can't retire on minimum wages
But with a little bit of love and some cable TV
We can be happy, relatively happy
Cool as a glass of iced tea
Happy as we wanna be
Yeah, with a little bit of love and some cable TV
We can be happy, relatively happy
Cool as a glass of iced tea
Oh, happy as we wanna be
