the town's name says it all. here in happy, texas you'll find an array of people all too eager to prove to the
name wrong. i'm sure if you interviewed a select few of the population they'd rename the town in a second.
it's to the town where everyone knows who you are and what you're up to, it's pretty damn hard to get into
this town and the minute they've made themselves a parasite on your skin, there's no going back. the people
born here are either eager to bolt or to live the american dream with the kids running' in the same circles
as they did when they were their age. then there's the people who jumped the gun and raced off before their
chute was open and felt the lights of home tugging them back for reasons that are pretty well known around
here. and for some reason the town shuns the newcomers, even if most of the time, they're the best damn dose
of reality that the town has. it doesn't take you long to react to the town though, even if there's a small silent
rule that anyone to come to happy has to reside here for at least five years before becoming an actual local.
of course, there are the dreamers too, who would enjoy hitch hiking their way clean of this place, but it does
say without going, you'll try anything once in this town. big or small, you'll end up loving it here, and most
of the time, that's a fact. from words like 'hell' all the way down to 'dangerous' and 'insane', many nicknames.
that's just the thing about a small town like happy, where you're famous if you crash your truck, or rebound
from college, there's a running joke is that no one can compare to each other, but everyone can say nothing
compares to life on a dirt road. a town where in a matter of minutes, your issues are thrown onto the lawn of
the church, long as you can remember one theory - take nothing to heart, let the wheels turn slow.
