Happy Tracks
Leaving Happy Tracks: A Life Philosophy in Wanda Jackson's Song
Lyrics
I know you've heard people say many many times
Acknowledgment of a commonly heard saying or belief.
Don't pass through this world but once you'll get yours and I'll get mine
Life is singular, suggesting that actions have consequences for both self and others.
And I've got a philosophy I believe I'd rather go by
The singer has a personal belief or guiding principle.
And if you'll just listen you may want to give it a try
Encouragement for the listener to consider the philosophy being shared.
Leave a lotta happy tracks as you go down life's road
Encouragement to leave behind positive and joyous imprints in life.
Leave a lotta happy tracks everywhere you go
Reiteration to spread happiness wherever one travels.
Leave a lotta happy tracks and keep this in mind
Highlighting the importance of leaving a positive impact.
Others will have to follow in the path you leave behind
Others will follow the example set by one's actions.
As you walk the tangle streets of life notice your fellow man
Observing and assisting others during life's challenges.
When he gets in trouble lend him a helping hand
Offering help and support to those facing difficulties.
Sow good seeds in your fields of life as you go along
Planting positive influences or actions throughout life.
Let others reap your happiness a long time after you're gone
Spreading happiness that endures even after one's passing.
Leave a lotta happy tracks...
Reiteration of the importance of leaving joyful imprints in life.
Don't ever use a good friend for a personal game
Warning against using friends for personal gain.
To game wealth and lose one friend would only be in vain
Highlighting the futility of sacrificing a friendship for material gain.
Let your happy tracks be many leave 'em everywhere you go
Encouragement to spread happiness extensively.
Cause others will have to harvest each and every seed you sow
Emphasizing that one's actions will have consequences for others.
Yeah leave a lotta happy tracks...
Reiteration of the importance of leaving positive traces in life.
Others will have to follow in the path you leave behind
Reiteration that others will follow the path one leaves behind.
