Laugh To Keep From Cryin` Lyrics

Laugh To Keep From Cryin` lyrics

Sunday morning the kids are playing in the street

 Lookin' for pennies in the cracks of the concrete

 And i'm looking down at them while i'm sittin' on the roof

 Prayin' to a bottle of 86 proof

 

 Well, the sun she came a-risin' so strong and proud

 Took one look down upon this town and hid behind the clouds

 

 I don't need no reasons or excuses for myself

 I laugh to keep from cryin' like everybody else

 

 I lost my job but i don't like to think about it

 I get enough money to drink enough to forget about it

 I ain't no beggar but they say i got the symptoms

 They break a man's legs and then they blame him for limpin'

 

 Well, the sun she came a-risin' so strong and proud

 Took one look down upon this town and hid behind the clouds

 

 I don't need no reasons or excuses for myself

 I laugh to keep from cryin' just like everybody else
