I used to say when I grow up

I′d make the NBA make a million bucks

Or maybe be an astronautThat was all a little harder than I thought

I'd have my name up in the stars

The fancy clothes the flashy cars

But that was back a couple dreams ago

Reality ain′t quite like the TV shows

And if I could go back

To when my teachers asked

What I wanna be one day

When I grow up I'd say

I just wanna be happy

Make a little living that'll last me

Couple rug rats in the backseat

Is that too much to ask

I don′t need the models and the money

Just a girl that really really loves me

Take her back home to Kentucky

I′d be lucky if that's all I had

I just wanna be

Happy happy happy (ohhh)

I just wanna be

Happy happy happy (ohhh)

And what′s the point in being the best

When everybody that I used to idolize is depressed

No need to go flex

And move out to the west

And buy a mansion that I can't afford

And end up in debt (yeah)

And if I could go back

To when my teachers asked

What I wanna be one day

When I grow up id say

I just wanna be happy

Make a little living that′ll last me

Couple rug rats in the backseat

Is that too much to ask

I don't need the models and the money

Just a girl that really really love me

Take her back home to Kentucky

I′d be lucky if that's all I had

I just wanna be

Happy happy happy (ohhh)

I just wanna be

Happy happy happy (ohhh)
