Beth Hart Might As Well Smile song lyrics

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
