Badlees - Laugh to Keep from Cryin' lyrics

rate me

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

Wellthe 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'

Wellthe 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
