True dat! I'm very picky when it comes to country. I typically listen to the older stuff, as modern bro country just is just too annoying for me. A friend of mine told me about this guy, and I think I might have a new favorite artist, and am willing to give more country a shot.
Happy Instead Lyrics [Verse 1] Well, I've been pacin' this room for forty hours Crawlin' up the wall and tryin' not to call And I saw you walking in a supermarket aisle I didn't say a word 'cause you had the biggest smile [Verse 2] And I've been thinkin' of you in the morning times You woke me up so soft that I forgot the world ain't kind I pull you in and you kissed me through a grin And you say you missed me when you were busy sleepin' [Chorus] But what if I'd said happy instead Is the way that I reckon it should be And if you called you'd say that you're okay And I'd be wishin' I was there 'Cause you're happy instead Happy instead [Verse 3] And I've been dreamin' of the life we would have had Happy at times but mostly just mad Maybe it'd worked out, maybe it'd be fine But every day your smile ain't showin', seems a waste of time [Chorus] So what if I'd said happy instead Is the way that I reckon it should be And if you called you'd say that you're okay And I'd be wishin' I was there 'Cause you're happy instead Happy instead [Verse 4] It's been ten years, I hadn't called you once When you called last night and my child up and jumped He asked who you were and you did the same Handed me the phone and I couldn't recall your name [Chorus] What if I'd said happy instead Is the way that I reckon I should be And if you called you'd hear that I was okay And you'd be wishin' you was there 'Cause I'm happy instead Happy instead Oh, I'm happy instead Happy instead [Outro] What if I'd said happy instead Is the way that I reckon I should be And if you called you'd hear that I'm okay And you'd be wishin' you was dead 'Cause I'm happy instead
Been 2 years now for me. Can’t get her off my mind but I refuse to let her know it. Maybe 10 years will go by and I won’t recall her name. Maybe she’ll be happy instead, maybe I’ll be.
I broke up with my other half because we kept fighting and I told her I just want us to be “Happy”. I wonder if I made the right decision but I hope she’ll find the right guy that makes her happy instead… 😢
even people who don't like country cannot say they dont like at least one song by Zach Bryan! Your music is a blessing!
Zach isnt a country artist he is an aspiring rapper
Lmao
I don't like any country music, but I love his stuff, lol
Zach bryan is the only country artist I listen to and I listen to like all his songs, they're beautiful

a quarter century ago God gave the world a legend who hails from northeastern Oklahoma
Yessir! Making the world a brighter, happier, and better place one song at a time!
And his name was lane frost
Appreciate the capital G brother many blessings glad we could be here another day despite the problems around us
It's me! I'm that guy!

I hope others learn this lesson sooner than later. Life is precious don’t waste a second.
Absolute best heartbreak song of all time
This might be the breakup song ever. Move on take with you what lessons you learned and be grateful that person was in your life for whatever reason.
Bud you dont understand what your music has and still does for me in these dark times of my life thank you
This song tears me up inside
Jesus loves, Jesus saves. When you are down, he will lift you up. When you are up, plant the seed.
This song is so powerful, if you know you know!
10 years on, as a Zach, still trying to be happy instead. God bless this song.
Pure and raw lyrics and talent. ❤ Some of my favorite songs to cover are from this legend
This album is too good.. I’m so proud of u and this song!💐 🎶🎵
Happy Instead Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Well, I've been pacin' this room for forty hours
Crawlin' up the wall and tryin' not to call
And I saw you walking in a supermarket aisle
I didn't say a word 'cause you had the biggest smile
[Verse 2]
And I've been thinkin' of you in the morning times
You woke me up so soft that I forgot the world ain't kind
I pull you in and you kissed me through a grin
And you say you missed me when you were busy sleepin'
[Chorus]
But what if I'd said happy instead
Is the way that I reckon it should be
And if you called you'd say that you're okay
And I'd be wishin' I was there
'Cause you're happy instead
Happy instead
[Verse 3]
And I've been dreamin' of the life we would have had
Happy at times but mostly just mad
Maybe it'd worked out, maybe it'd be fine
But every day your smile ain't showin', seems a waste of time
[Chorus]
So what if I'd said happy instead
Is the way that I reckon it should be
And if you called you'd say that you're okay
And I'd be wishin' I was there
'Cause you're happy instead
Happy instead
[Verse 4]
It's been ten years, I hadn't called you once
When you called last night and my child up and jumped
He asked who you were and you did the same
Handed me the phone and I couldn't recall your name
[Chorus]
What if I'd said happy instead
Is the way that I reckon I should be
And if you called you'd hear that I was okay
And you'd be wishin' you was there
'Cause I'm happy instead
Happy instead
Oh, I'm happy instead
Happy instead
[Outro]
What if I'd said happy instead
Is the way that I reckon I should be
And if you called you'd hear that I'm okay
And you'd be wishin' you was dead
'Cause I'm happy instead
I hope you know this post is appreciated
Been waiting for him to drop his album and now that it’s dropped and I’ve heard it I can say this is THE best album dropped ever no doubt
One of my friends was singing this nonstop on a cabin trip. Ngl the song is pretty good!
This song is so good and sad it literally made me cry
Im cryin man, but your music makes me happy
Gives me similar vibes to Bruises By Train. Zach is an amazing artist and I love the stories he tells.
your music makes me feel something
Man, this song hit hard
You can't make a bad song. Man we all love ya. Just amazing 👏
I'll be getting drunk to this tonight for sure! Pure awesomeness.

I don’t know why but this song just reminds me of my ex I think it’s been almost a year and I still can’t get her off my mind.
Call her and tell her
Been 2 years now for me. Can’t get her off my mind but I refuse to let her know it. Maybe 10 years will go by and I won’t recall her name. Maybe she’ll be happy instead, maybe I’ll be.
Same man. But like the song says I figure I should be happy instead
Man this album is making my boots creek 🤠🔥🔥
432htz is why this one is feeling amazing
Finally. Time heals. Yes. ❤
I’m not sure is the dog bark was intentional but it definitely added to the song!
A literal god send
Love it ! Reminds me of my life in a way
I just discovered you on The Minimalist Private Podcast. Beautiful music, thank you!

Fuck. Touched by this while drunk. Time to stop being shut down and to embrace life

is it wishing i was dead or wishing i was there... cause dead makes alot more sense given the context of the song
"Dead"
@@ChoseDeath that's what I thought but so many lyrics sites are saying "there" lol
You can hear his dog barking at 3:37 😂
Haha my dog heard it !

I broke up with my other half because we kept fighting and I told her I just want us to be “Happy”. I wonder if I made the right decision but I hope she’ll find the right guy that makes her happy instead… 😢

Krusty krab pizza
Orange
