Used to dream about

Buying that bigger house

Sitting on top of some hill

Losing sleep about filling

My bank account

Wondering if I ever will

But the older I get

I just care less and less

′Bout keeping up with people

Named Jones

If you don't fill it up

With somebody that you love

It ain′t ever gonna feel like home

There's always gonna be a higher high

You could chase for the rest of your life

Greener grass in the yard next door

Or a shined up Chevy

Little newer than yours

You're never gonna fill an empty cup

If what you got′s still not enough

The thing about happiness

I′ve found is

It don't live in bigger houses

I can hear the kids making

Little footsteps, running down

The hallway upstairs

I can see the dogs playing

In the back yard, through the kitchen window right there

Maybe life′s kinda more 'bout

A swing on the porch

Holding her while the sun disappears

Why would I wanna be anywhere else

In the world when my whole world

Is sitting right here?

There′s always gonna be a higher high

You could chase

For the rest of your life

Greener grass in the yard next door

Or a shined up Chevy

Little newer than yours

You're never gonna fill an empty cup

If what you got′s still not enough

The thing about happiness

I've found is

It don't live in bigger houses

No-no, no-no, no-no

There′s always gonna be a higher high

You could chase

For the rest of your life

Greener grass in the yard next door

Or a shined up Chevy

Little newer than yours

You′re never gonna fill an empty cup

If what you got's still not enough

The thing about happiness

I′ve found is

It don't live in bigger houses

The thing about happiness

I′ve found is

It don't live in bigger houses

Mm-hmm
