Happy Tracks Wanda Jackson

I know you've heard people say many many times
You don't pass through this world but once, you get yours and I'll get mine
And I've got a philosophy I believe I'd rather go by
And if you'll just listen, you may want to give it a try

You gotta leave a lotta happy tracks as you go down life's road
Leave a lotta happy tracks everywhere you go
Leave a lotta happy tracks and keep this in mind
Others will have to follow in the path you leave behind

As you walk the tangled streets of life, notice your fellow man
When he gets in trouble, lend him a helping hand
Sow good seeds in your field of life as you go along
Let others reap your happiness a long time after you're gone

Leave a lotta happy tracks as you go down life's road
Leave a lotta happy tracks everywhere you go
Leave a lotta happy tracks and keep this in mind
Others will have to follow in the path you leave behind

Don't ever use a good friend for a personal gain
To gain wealth and lose one friend would only be in vain
Let your happy tracks be many, leave 'em everywhere you go
'Cause others will have to harvest each and every seed you sow

Yea, leave a lotta happy tracks as you go down life's road
Leave a lotta happy tracks everywhere you go
Leave a lotta happy tracks and keep this in mind
Others will have to follow in the path you leave behind
Others will have to follow in the path you leave behind
