  • Happy people don't cheat
    Happy people don't lie
    They don't judge, or hold a grudge, don't criticize
    Happy people don't hate
    Happy people don't steal
    'Cause all the hurt sure ain't worth all the guilt they'd feel

    If you wanna know the secret
    Can't buy it, gotta make it
    You ain't ever gonna be it
    By takin' someone else's away
    Never take it for granted
    You don't have to understand it
    Here's to whatever puts a smile on your face
    Whatever makes you happy people

    Happy people don't fail
    Happy people just learn
    Don't think they're above the push and shove
    They just wait their turn
    They always got a hand, or a dollar to spare
    Know the golden rule, what you're goin' through
    Even if they never been there

    If you wanna know the secret
    Can't buy it, gotta make it
    And you ain't ever gonna be it
    By takin' someone else's away
    Never take it for granted
    You don't have to understand it
    Here's to whatever puts a smile on your face
    Whatever makes you happy people

    If these days ain't always easy to find
    They're the ones that you want standing by your side
    No time for greed, if they need some, give 'em a slice
    And we'll all be happy people

    Well life is short
    And love is rare
    And we all deserve to be happy while we're here Writer/s: Brandy Lynn Clark, Lori McKenna
