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
