Well you say you got the blues, Got holes in both of your shoes, Feelin alone and confused, You got to keep on smilin, keep on smilin Yeah, you're about to go insane, Cause your womans playing games And she says that you're to blame, You got to keep on smilin, keep on smilin Keep on smilin through the rain, laughin at the pain Rollin with the changes til the sun comes out again Keep on smilin through the rain, laughin at the pain Rollin with the changes, singin this refrain Singin in a honky tonk cafe, Nobody's hearin what you play, They're too busy drinkin anyway, You got to keep on smilin, keep on smilin Brother keep on smiling You say you found a peace of land Gonna change from city boy to country man Try to build your life with your hands You got to keep on smilin, keep on smilin You're just hangin out in a local bar, And you're wonderin who the hell you are Are you a bum or are you a star?
