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
