The Badlees - Laugh To Keep From Cryin' lyrics

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' like everybody else
