Lookin for pennies in the cracks of the concrete
And Im looking down at them while Im sittin on the roof
Prayin to a bottle of 86 proof
Well, the sun she came a-risin so strong and proud
Took one look down upon this town and hid behind the clouds
I dont need no reasons or excuses for myself
I laugh to keep from cryin like everybody else
I lost my job but I dont like to think about it
I get enough money to drink enough to forget about it
I aint no beggar but they say I got the symptoms
They break a mans legs and then they blame him for limpin
Well, the sun she came a-risin so strong and proud
Took one look down upon this town and hid behind the clouds
I dont need no reasons or excuses for myself
I laugh to keep from cryin just like everybody else
