Success and Happiness Is Where the Heart Lays
Life is a grand stage filled with many pathways
That we must find our direction
To break away from our families protection
So we are able to see the opportunities
That is surrounding all sides of me
Should I go to college for a four-year degree
To create some kind of job security
Or should I take a dream job cruising the high seas
Basking in the sun seeing the world having fun
Or should I stay in my hometown
With a job I have found that isn't very sound
Always having friends and family around
Or should I go with my heart
To find the right place to start
With a woman who is very smart
Who picks me up when I am down
She helps keep my feet on the ground
Who excepts me even when I'm out of bounds
She is adventurous and my all-around gal
That would be calling foul if I was to leave now
Since the choice is all mine
I will take no time to define
I could spend a lifetime trying to find
Another to unwind a love that is this refined
Rather than chasing a career that grinds
That leaves an empty feeling in my mind
Because I left her behind
Time is what you make it so don't fake it
Or brake it but rather make it your own
Choose a path that leads to happiness
That is full of your every wish
Creating a pathway that takes us away
Too many destinations where we will play
Leads to the place we grow up and stay
So we don't have to worry about our choices yesterday
Because success and happiness is where the heart lays
