Laugh Kills Lonesome Songtext
von Michael Nesmith

All around the campfire stood
Seven dusty men
The cook was drinking applejack
The cattle were all penned
Someone must have cracked a wise one
Because the men began to grin
Their smiles shot out like sunbeams
And made the night give in

Because laugh kills lonesome
Every single time
That′s why Charlie Russell painted it
And why it looks so fine
Laugh kills lonesome
Every single time


Roy and Dale and Pecos Bill
They knew all about this
And so did Walt and Ossie
Who gave it their own twist
Sometimes when things can't get much worse
And life′s become a fist
Someone will crack a wise one
And laughter works like this

Laugh kills lonesome
Every single time
That's why Charlie Russell painted it
And why it looks so fine
Laugh kills lonesome
Every single time

Laugh kills lonesome
Every single time
That's why Charlie Russell painted it in the first place
And why it looks so fine
Laugh kills lonesome
Every single time

Laugh kills lonesome
Laugh kills lonesome
Laugh kills lonesome
Every single time
