3 Beat Revolution - You Can’t Buy Happy Lyrics

She's scratchin' tickets at the kitchen table
Chasin' those dreams like she's still twenty and able
She says "One big win we'll have it all back
The days we were young and the nights never lacked"
But I see the lines that time's drawn on her face
And the sparkle that's gone she's tryin' to replace
She thinks with that jackpot she'll turn back the years
But I tell her "Darlin' it's not what it appears"
You can't buy happy no matter what you do
All the money in the world won't bring back the you
That danced in the rain and smiled at the stars
Before you started thinkin' life was about fast cars
No you can't buy time and you can't buy love
What we've got is enough from the good Lord above
So stop countin' dollars babe and look at me
You can't buy happy no you can't buy free
She dreams of fancy places where the lights always shine
Sayin' "Maybe one day if that lotto's mine"
But I remember nights when we were broke as could be
And still had it all just her and me
Now she's scrollin' through memories chasin' a past
But I tell her "Honey those days don't last"
The real riches are right here in our hands
Not in some numbers or faraway plans
You can't buy happy no matter what you do
All the money in the world won't bring back the you
That danced in the rain and smiled at the stars
Before you started thinkin' life was about fast cars
No you can't buy time and you can't buy love
What we've got is enough from the good Lord above
So stop countin' dollars babe and look at me
You can't buy happy no you can't buy free
I don't need a mansion I don't need gold
Just your hand in mine as we both grow old
The real treasure's here in the life that we live
It's not in the jackpot it's in what we give
You can't buy happy no matter what you do
All the money in the world won't bring back the you
That danced in the rain and smiled at the stars
Before you started thinkin' life was about fast cars
No you can't buy time and you can't buy love
What we've got is enough from the good Lord above
So stop countin' dollars babe and look at me
You can't buy happy no you can't buy free
Yeah stop chasin' that rainbow let your worries be
You can't buy happy and you've got me
