Used to dream about
buyin' that bigger house
sittin' on top of some hill
Losin' sleep about
fillin' my bank account
wonderin' if I ever will
But the older I get
I just care less and less
'bout keepin' 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
makin' little footsteps
runnin' down
the hallway upstairs
I can see the dogs
playin' in the backyard
through the kitchen window
right there
Maybe life's kinda more
'bout a swing on the porch
holdin' her
while the sun disappears
Why would I wanna be
anywhere else in the world
when my whole world
is sittin' 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
is I've found is
it don't live in bigger houses
Mm-hmm
