Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Well, you say you've got the blues
You've got holes in both your shoes, yeah
You're feeling alone and confused
You got to keep on smilin', just keep on smilin'
[Verse 2]
Yeah, you're, you're 'bout to go insane
'Cause your woman's playin' games
And she says that you're to blame
You gotta keep on smilin'
Just keep on smiling
[Verse 3]
Keep on smilin' through the rain
Laughin' at the pain
Just flowin' with the changes
Till the sun comes out again
[Verse 4]
Keep on smilin' through the rain
Laughin' at the pain
Just flowin' with the changes
And singin' this refrain
[Verse 5]
Singin' in a honkey tonk cafe
Nobody's hearin' what you play, yeah
They're too busy drinkin' anyway
You gotta keep on smilin'
Brother, keep on smilin'
[Verse 6]
Say you, you found a piece of land
You're gonna change from city boy to country man, yeah
Try to build your life with your hands
And just keep on smilin', keep on smilin'
[Verse 7]
Keep on smilin' through the rain
Laughin' at the pain
Just flowin' with the changes
Keep on singin' this refrain
[Verse 8]
You're just hangin' out in a local bar
And you're wonderin' who the hell you are?
Are you a farmer? Are you a star?
[Verse 9]
Smile on through the rain
Laugh all through the pain
Flow on with the changes
Till the sun comes out again
[Verse 10]
Keep on smilin' (Smilin')
Smilin' (Smilin')
Laughin' (Laughin')
Said laughin' (Laughin')
Keep on flowin', flowin', flowin' (Flowin')
