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, youre about to go insane,
Cause your womans playing games
And she says that youre 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,
Nobodys hearin what you play,
Theyre 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
Youre just hangin out in a local bar,
And youre wonderin who the hell you are
Are you a bum or are you a star?
