From the recording Trans-Mountaineer
“Because I’m happy with nothing, I’ve got everything I need”, affirms the folk singer in yet another anthem of the transcendental adventures of the TRANS-MOUNTAINEER. This stripped-down Americana tune features authentic country acoustic, a shaking tambourine & thumping bass, bluesy harmonica & a lyrical triumph carried by a soulful vocal.
Lyrics
I have never met one wealthy man
Who is truly worthy of envy.
I may be nothing but a little poor boy,
But I’m happy with my nothing.
Because I’m happy with nothing,
I’ve got everything I need.
I’m happy with nothing.
I’ve got everything I need.
For those with wealth it seems there’s never enough,
Clothed, but inside; so cold and empty.
I would wear nothing if they gave me a choice,
Instead I browse the Salvation Army.
Because I’m happy with nothing,
I’ve got everything I need.
I’m happy with nothing.
I’ve got everything I need.
