The Badlees - Laugh To Keep From Cryin' Lyrics
Sunday morning the kids are playing in the streetLookin' for pennies in the cracks of the concreteAnd I'm looking down at them while I'm sittin' on the roofPrayin' to a bottle of 86 proofWell, the sun she came a-risin' so strong and proudTook one look down upon this town and hid behind the cloudsI don't need no reasons or excuses for myselfI laugh to keep from cryin' like everybody elseI lost my job but I don't like to think about itI get enough money to drink enough to forget about itI ain't no beggar but they say I got the symptomsThey break a man's legs and then they blame him for limpin'Well, the sun she came a-risin' so strong and proudTook one look down upon this town and hid behind the cloudsI don't need no reasons or excuses for myselfI laugh to keep from cryin' just like everybody else
