He can see the dark clouds gathering in the distance
He can feel the sense of tension in the air
He can read the so called caring words of wisdom
Or they say this place is hell well he don't care
Yes I hear the lies your putting round
But I'm still in love with this one horse town
'Cause I'm happy, I'm happy in hell
Wow happy, I'm happy in hell
So they fight a lot and nothing seems to work out
There's that look of doom and gloom in her eyes
But despite it all they need each other so badly
Together they don't need to compromise
'Cause down at the end of the road
My river flows on by
Ain't looking for no answer
No need to wonder why
I'm happy, I'm happy in hell
I'm happy, I'm happy in hell
Don't think that I'm merely sidling while I round the city's burn
As quick as I know the score now in a place I call my home
Happy, I'm happy to share my load with you
Yeah
He don't know where he's been
He won't lie down and die
Don't try to turn a smile into a frown
Look around upon the faces
Of people walking by
Now nothing in this world can break him down
'Cause down at the end of the road
My river flows on by
Ain't looking for no answer
No need to wonder why
I hear the lies your putting down
But I'm still in love with this rotten town
'Cause I'm happy, I'm happy in hell
Yeah happy
I'm happy in hell
I'm happy in hell
Yeah happy
You know, you know I'm happy in hell
Happy, I'm happy to share my load with you
I'm happy in hell
I'm happy in hell
I'm happy in hell
Yeah, happy
You know I'm happy
You know I'm happy
Happy in hell.
