Guess my point with that it just goes to show, things can be more complicated than they seem. getting rid of mental health issues does not suddenly make people happy I don't think...and things like having no money and losing jobs still get people down even if they don't have mental health issues.
I mean don't get me wrong it would be cool if that song was more of a reality, but in reality...you at least need gas money to be going down any road unless someone is giving you a ride without wanting compensation or you've managed to create a self fueling vehicle or one that runs on something you don't have to pay for...or some people hitch hike.

With all due respect and appreciation to
Johnny for posting this interesting food for thought question --- Princess is inclined to think about this more along the lines of
Hellion.
My first thought upon reading the song lyrics to the above cited Keith Urban song:
Oh yeah, Keith Urban can sing romantically about having no money, no job, just a car, a baby, and the open road ... As *if* the pretty boy from DownUnder whom we all love to watch has *ever* known such hardship and lack of TheBasics in his well-encouraged, well-supported childhood and life all along since well-earned fame and fortune with his first solo album gone Platinum in USA way back in his beginning here in the land of the free, the home of the brave, and equal opportunity ... with liberty and justice for *all* ...
That said, of course my life and I and others significant in my life and my former work in the greater world of humanity would be vastly better were I not having to be beset with depression/PTSD/anxieties/fear/night terrors/worries/financial and socio-economic disaster, uncertainty/poverty/sickness/aging/ old age/debility/losses untold/traumatic brain injury/incompetent, uncaring, inadequate medical care post-TBI (save for my fabulous PT/physical therapist, who remains the singlemost knowledgeable, caring professional I encountered in all of
that traumatic ordeal, dealt with alone).
As Forest Gump would say,
"And that's all I have to say about that. " 
And in acknowledgement of Keith Urban's efforts for the betterment of lesser-fortunate humanity:
