(Modern country, mid-tempo, steel guitar and fiddle in the mix, think Chris Stapleton meets Zach Bryan) Verse 1 I grew up in a little house with hand-me-down dreams Barely two nickels, but rich as it seems Every morning he’d pull me in tight at the door Say “Son, I love you,” then love me some more Kind eyes, calloused hands, quiet kind of strong Whole county loved him, never steered ‘em wrong He carried a thousand years in the lines on his face And I’d give anything to be half that man someday Pre-Chorus When I’d come home mad at the world I’d built Kickin’ the dirt, carryin’ guilt He’d lean on the fence post, slow as you please And ask me one thing that’d bring me to my knees Chorus “Are you happy, son? Are you happy?” That’s all he’d say Cut through the noise like a Sunday hymn Made the storm clouds roll away I’d think of my wife in that old lace dress First time my baby took her first steps Cold beer on the riverbank, dogs in the field That question right there was the medicine I’d feel Yeah, “Are you happy?” Lord, I still hear it today Verse 2 He never chased money, never needed the shine Said the best things in life don’t cost you a dime A backyard fire, mama’s cornbread Laughin’ so hard tears ran down red Even when the bills stacked tall He’d smile and say, “Boy, we’ve still got it all” Never saw him worried, never saw him quit Just a steady heartbeat teachin’ me this Chorus “Are you happy, son? Are you happy?” That’s all he’d say I hear it in the wind through the Georgia pines Every single day Christmas lights glowin’, kin around the table Little arms around my neck when they’re able A walk on the beach, coffee on the porch That simple little question still carries the torch Yeah, “Are you happy?” It’s the gospel he left me with Bridge So when the world gets heavy, when the hurt runs deep I close my eyes, let those memories speak A warm morning hug, sun on my face There’s still love left in this broken place Last Chorus (soft then big) So I ask my own kids, ask my friends too When the night feels long and they ain’t sure what to do “Are you happy? Right now, are you happy?” Look for the light, it’s still there In the laugh of a child, in a faithful prayer If the answer’s yes, hold it close to your chest ‘Cause that’s the secret Dad knew best He’s gone but he left me the map Just one little question brings me right back “Are you happy?” Yeah, I’m happy Thank God, I’m happy (Tag – soft, almost spoken over fading steel) Thanks, Dad… I’m happy.
Lyrics
I grew up in a little house with hand-me-down dreams
Barely two nickels, but rich as it seems
Every morning he’d pull me in tight at the door
Say “Son, I love you,” then love me some more
Kind eyes, calloused hands, quiet kind of strong
Whole county loved him, never steered ‘em wrong
He carried a thousand years in the lines on his face
And I’d give anything to be half that man someday
When I’d come home mad at the world I’d built
Kickin’ the dirt, carryin’ guilt
He’d lean on the fence post, slow as you please
And ask me one thing that’d bring me to my knees
“Are you happy, son? Are you happy?”
That’s all he’d say
Cut through the noise like a Sunday hymn
Made the storm clouds roll away
I’d think of my wife in that old lace dress
First time my baby took her first steps
Cold beer on the riverbank, dogs in the field
That question right there was the medicine I’d feel
Yeah, “Are you happy?”
Lord, I still hear it today
He never chased money, never needed the shine
Said the best things in life don’t cost you a dime
A backyard fire, mama’s cornbread
Laughin’ so hard tears ran down red
Even when the bills stacked tall
He’d smile and say, “Boy, we’ve still got it all”
Never saw him worried, never saw him quit
Just a steady heartbeat teachin’ me this
“Are you happy, son? Are you happy?”
That’s all he’d say
I hear it in the wind through the Georgia pines
Every single day
Christmas lights glowin’, kin around the table
Little arms around my neck when they’re able
A walk on the beach, coffee on the porch
That simple little question still carries the torch
Yeah, “Are you happy?”
It’s the gospel he left me with
So when the world gets heavy, when the hurt runs deep
I close my eyes, let those memories speak
A warm morning hug, sun on my face
There’s still love left in this broken place
So I ask my own kids, ask my friends too
When the night feels long and they ain’t sure what to do
“Are you happy? Right now, are you happy?”
Look for the light, it’s still there
In the laugh of a child, in a faithful prayer
If the answer’s yes, hold it close to your chest
‘Cause that’s the secret Dad knew best
He’s gone but he left me the map
Just one little question brings me right back
“Are you happy?”
Yeah, I’m happy
Thank God, I’m happy
[tag]
Thanks, Dad… I’m happy.
