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
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?
