laugh it off

haggard, merle

if you find yourself in lock up

write a song about a jail

and if you set your boat on fire

in the middle of a gale

if you lose your only lover

go find something sweet and soft

and laugh it off

ha ha ha ha

laugh it off

if a joke about the police don't go over with a bang

if you tell them you're a singer

tthey don't like the way you sing

then get yourself an attorney

go out and play some golf

and laugh it off

ha ha ha

laugh it off

hey

don't get mad when you lose at 21

just roll the dice and go o-on having fun

and get some humble marijuana

guaranteed to make you cough

and laugh it off

ha ha

laugh it off

son

if you get yourself a ticket

second one in 30 days

and the courthouse can't find records

for the ones already paid

if you should get pneumonia

with an ever-lasting cough

laugh it off

ha ha

hey

don't get mad when you lose at 21

just roll the dice and go o-on having fun

and get some humble marijuana

guaranteed to make you cough

and laugh it off

well. don't get mad when you lose at 21

just roll the dice and go o-on having fun

and get yourself a good attorney

take him out and play some golf

and laugh it off

ha ha

laugh it off
