Keep Smiling On Lyrics

Mama told me when I came of age, don't let nothing take your roots away

People may try to hurt you, son, but they can't undo what the Lord has done

But, my eyes were wide; my pants were high

And like sharks-to-blood they had me fleeced and fried

Then Mama said, there's a way to get by, keep smiling on

My buddy called, he lost his job and he was raving like a two-bit blog

He made his work the only thing in his life

Now he's lost and confused and he can't sleep nights

I said, when something starts making you blue

Getting you angry 'cause you're feeling abused

Well, let me tell you just what you can do, keep smiling on

Keep smiling on

No matter how things might go wrong

There's a dream to depend upon and it's deep inside your heart

So keep on smiling

Keep smiling on when it seems all hope is gone

That's when you know you must be strong

So keep smiling on

I met a guy shining shoes today, smiling from his toes to the tips of his play

I asked him how he got that point of view

He said, I know something most don't and it's true

Money is nice and it makes you feel fine

But it can make you do things that are out of line

And a smile never cost nobody a dime, so keep smiling on

When somebody starts into making you blue

Getting you angry cause you're feeling abused

Well, let me tell you just what you can do, keep smiling on

Keep smiling on

No matter how things might go wrong

There's a dream to depend upon and it's deep inside your heart

So keep on smiling

Keep smiling on when it seems all hope is gone

That's when you know you must be strong

So keep smiling on

Keep smiling on

No matter how things might go wrong

There's a dream to depend upon and it's deep inside your heart

So keep on smiling

Keep smiling on when it seems all hope is gone

That's when you know you must be strong

So keep smiling on
