Used to dream about buying
that bigger house, sitting on top of some hill
Losing sleep about filling my bank account
wondering if I ever will

But the older I get, I just care less
and less 'bout keeping up with people named Jones
If you don't fill it up with somebody
that you love, it ain't ever gonna feel like home

There's always gonna be a higher high
You could chase for the rest of your life
Greener grass in the yard next door
Or a shined up Chevy little newer than yours
You're never gonna fill an empty cup
if what you got's still not enough
The thing about happiness I've found is
It don't live in bigger houses

I can hear the kids making little footsteps
running down the hallway upstairs
I can see the dogs playing in the back yard
through the kitchen window right there

Maybe life's kinda more 'bout a swing on the porch
holding her while the sun disappears
Why would I wanna be anywhere else
in the world when my whole world is sitting right here?

There's always gonna be a higher high
You could chase for the rest of your life
Greener grass in the yard next door
Or a shined up Chevy little newer than yours
You're never gonna fill an empty cup
if what you got's still not enough
The thing about happiness I've found is
It don't live in bigger houses

No-no, no-no, no-no

There's always gonna be a higher high
You could chase for the rest of your life
Greener grass in the yard next door
Or a shined up Chevy little newer than yours
You're never gonna fill an empty cup
if what you got's still not enough
The thing about happiness I've found is
It don't live in bigger houses

The thing about happiness I've found is
It don't live in bigger houses
Mm-hmm
