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` like everybody else
