might as well smile

Lyrics

i woke up this morning, with a smile on my face, i threw out those stones, that stood in my way, and i put on a new pair, of hard walking shoes, i woke up this morning, laughing the blues, woke up laughing the blues, when the talking on the tv, tells me i should be scared, i don't let it overwhelm me, i know that joy will be there, behind every tear, it might take a while, might as well smile, i go to the corner, and buy me a drink, i say to the man, "this shit helps me think", he says "who ya fooling?, i know your type!, a dead woman walking", maybe he's right, i sure hope he ain't right, and when the preacher on the tv, tells me i should be scared, i don't let it overtake me, i know that faith will be there, behind every fear, it might take a while, might as well smile, i woke up this morning, with a smile on my face, without a warning, my fear was erased, so i put on a new pair, of good walking shoes, i woke up this morning, laughing the blues, cause i got nothing to lose, and if the darkness brings the thunder, and my brother turns me away, i will turn and love another, there will be light in the shade, and that's where i'll lay, it might take a while, might as well smile, it might take a while, might as well smile
