N.C.
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
I woke up laughing the blues
A -3-2-0---
And 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?
Yeah, 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
N.C.
I woke up this morning
With a smile on my face
Without a warning
My fear was e-rased
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
My brother turns me a-way
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
Might as well
Might as well smile
Might take a while
Might as well smile
On the part
