05 Smile Smile Smile
Times are sure getting hard
Ain’t nothing in the penny jar
Now the car’s not running
Its sitting out in the drive
I try to keep my head on straight
Some days it’s just to hard to fake
And I wake up wondering
How we’re gonna get by

Everybody says things are gonna get better
But it sure is hard to believe
Down at the bottom there’s nothing but misery
Hard times come and go but just like the weather
They only last a little while
But there’s one thing for certain, even when you’re hurtin’
It just feels better to smile… Smile Smile Smile

I’m tired of the weeds in my flower beds
Tired of waking up with an aching head
If this livin’ don’t kill me sure enough the worrying will
Grand Dad’s been livin’ in the war
He doesn’t recognize me anymore
He’s just sitting on the couch starin’ into space
And it tears me up to see him that way
You know

Everybody says things are gonna get better
But it sure is hard to believe
Down at the bottom there’s nothing but misery
Hard times come and go but just like the weather
They only last a little while
But there’s one thing for certain, even when you’re hurtin’
It just feels better to smile… Smile Smile Smile
