[Verse 1]
I never went to church, much less to school
Folks around here say I’m just a fool
Well, maybe I’m just too happy or blue
To give a care about you
But I’m on my way, and that’s all I need to do

[Verse 2]
My worn-out shoes are damp with autumn rain
I know my hair and my shirt are faded gray
Well maybe it’s just not proper of me
But I think I’m gonna sing
So just sit back, all you people, and let me be

[Chorus]
Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai
I bet I’m happy as you
Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai
And as I walk I feel a tune
I’ll sing it now for you
While I’m making my way with the man who saved the fool

[Verse 3]
Tears of silent joy just seem to pour
I know my wife has never seen me cry before
Well, maybe she knows how happy I am
As I kneel down on the floor
‘Causе for once in my life
Through Jesus I ain’t poor no morе
[Chorus]
Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai
I bet I’m happy as you
Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai
And as I walk I feel a tune
I’ll sing it now for you
While I’m making my way with the man who saved the fool

[Chorus]
Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai
I bet I’m happy as you
Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai
And as I walk I feel a tune
I’ll sing it now for you
While I’m making my way with the man who saved the fool

[Chorus]
Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai
I bet I’m happy as you
Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai
And as I walk I feel a tune
I’ll sing it now for you
