LYRICS

This is a mean old world,
Baby to live in by yourself.
This is a mean old world,
Baby to live in by yourself.
Cant get the woman you love,
Cause you know shes lovin someone else.

Well I drink to keep from worryin
Baby and I smile to keep from cryin'.
Yes I drink to keep from worryin
and you know I smile to keep from cryin.
Thats to keep the public from knowin
just what I have on my mind.
