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
