A Happy Guy
José Feliciano Lyrics

Some guys like a 9 to 5 job
Some people prefer the routine of a regular job.

And a house with a white picket fence
They also aspire to have a traditional and predictable lifestyle.

Some guys live for that weekly pay check
Their goal is to earn money and achieve financial stability through a steady income.

But to me it don't make much sense
But this kind of lifestyle does not make sense for me personally.

Now I don't like a tight collar
I do not like the feeling of being constricted.

Or a suit with a matching tie
I do not care for formal attire.

I like to pick up and go where the four winds blow
I prefer to travel and go where the wind takes me.

I steer clear of sweet talkin' gals
I avoid women who are only interested in marriage.

They gotta wedding bells on their mind
These women only want to settle down and get married.

They want a guy to stay home every night
They want a guy to be a homebody.

But me I'm a different kind
But I have a different personality and lifestyle.

I move when I'm ready
I make my own decisions and move on my own timeline.

And I don't have to tell you why
I do not have to explain my actions to anyone.

I just grab my hat
I only need to grab my hat and go.

And leave where I'm at
And move on from my current situation.

And that's why I'm a happy guy
This is why I am a happy person, with the freedom to live my life as I please.

You can look for me when I'm passing through
If you want to catch up with me, you can find me when I'm in your town only temporarily.

And I'll stay awhile in your town
I may spend some time in your town before moving on.

We can live it up and let the good times roll
We can enjoy ourselves and have a good time together.

But don't try to settle me down
But do not try to convince me to stay put in one place.

No girls gonna chain me!
No woman can make me feel trapped or obligated.

I was born with a roving eye
I have always had an urge to explore and move on.

And when the thrill is gone
When I no longer find something exciting or interesting,

I'll be moving on
I will leave and find something new, and that's why I am a happy guy.
