(Harlan Howard)   Norma      I know that my surroundings aren't the very best   But my soul's on fire and won't let me rest   I'm doing things I really shouldn't do I guess   I'm just pursuing happiness.      I'm living much too fast a pace with two to care   I'm just looking for a dream that I can share   I'm sinking fast but no one hears my SOS   I'm just pursuing happiness.      Almost everyone I know has someone to worry   Someone to cheer them when they're low   So if I walk by you in too big a hurry it's because I got no place to go   Wherever people gather that's where I'll be found   In hope that someone's hand will reach and slow me down.      Behind me I can feel that demon loneliness   I'm just pursuing happiness.      Almost everyone I know has someone to worry   Someone to cheer them when they're low   So if I walk by you in too big a hurry it's because I got no place to go   Wherever people gather that's where I'll be found   In hope that someone's hand will reach and slow me down.      Behind me I can feel that demon loneliness   I'm just pursuing happiness.      I'm just persuing happiness.   I'm just pursuing happiness...
