Sunday morning the kids are playing in the street
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
