Laugh It Off

Laugh It Off - Merle Haggard

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 someone 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

They 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 m*******a

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 m*******a

Guaranteed to make you cough

And laugh It off

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
