Might as Well Smile

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 It might take a while, might as well smile
