Charlie Louvin - Looking For A Thing Called Happiness Lyrics

You asked what I'm searching for fame or fortune oughta be a star

I'll have to admit it's none of these

You shouldn't even have to ask or even take a second guess

I'm looking for a thing called happiness

Looking for a thing called happiness tired of all this loneliness

Search most every day since you've been gone

Seems that I can't get no rest tried and tried and tried my best

To find a thing called happiness

[ guitar - steel ]

Sometimes it seems so very near then again so far my dear

I don't know if I'll ever find it

My search must go on I guess though it's hopeless I confess

I'm looking for a thing called happiness

Looking for a thing...

Oh yeah I'm looking for a thing called happiness
