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'

[Chorus]
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'

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'

[Chorus]

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?

[Chorus]
