Looking For A Thing Called Happiness Lyrics - Charlie Louvin

You asked what I'm searching for fame or fortune oughta be a star 

I'll have to admit it's none of these 

You shouldn't even have to ask or even take a second guess 

I'm looking for a thing called happiness 

Looking for a thing called happiness tired of all this loneliness 

Search most every day since you've been gone 

Seems that I can't get no rest tried and tried and tried my best 

To find a thing called happiness 

[ guitar - steel ] 

Sometimes it seems so very near then again so far my dear 

I don't know if I'll ever find it 

My search must go on I guess though it's hopeless I confess 

I'm looking for a thing called happiness 

Looking for a thing... 

Oh yeah I'm looking for a thing called happiness
