Hell No, I Ain't Happy

  • There's a lot of bad wood underneath the veneer
    She's an overnight sensation after twenty five years
    Sharp fast curves, power steering
    Unroll that twenty, buy me some beer
    Ain't too bad, too bad at all, pick up the phone if I ever call
    Hell no, I ain't happy.

    There's a pretty little girl outside the van window
    'Bout eighty cities down, eight hundred to go
    Six crammed in, we ain't never alone
    Never homesick, ain't got no home
    Check my mail if you would please, Jenn
    Collect my things till I'm in town again
    Hell No, I ain't happy.

    But I get a little closer everyday
    Gonna be a long time till I'm back your way.

    I've seen just how much I can stand
    One night in Kansas City, we thought about killing a man
    Seen my number fly by on Interstate Ten
    Seen the mountains of Montana at seven am.
    And I keep it all together for the sake of the kids
    Got your fine-ass self on the back of my lids
    Hell no, I ain't happy.
    But I ain't too crappy, too crappy at all. Writer/s: PATTERSON HOOD
