lyrics

Sitting back, lying on the couch
Things are going badly but don't let this opportunity by
You've seen it before and history doesn't lie.
Stop and think, what more can you do?
It won't be quite as hopeless if you think of what is tried and true
The only thing to change is your attitude.

Keep on smiling and it might just be going your way
Keep on running for the gold and you might take it home someday.
But keep on smiling.

It's a nice day sitting by the edge of the fence
The grass is always greener but it never makes sense to get down
What goes around, comes around.
Look at your desk, the same as you know
It hasn't changed a bit since you carved your name years ago
Don't keep feeling low, just plaster on a smile and don't let the boss find out now

Keep on smiling and it might just be going your way
Keep on running for the gold and you might take it home someday.

Keep on smiling and it might just be going your way
Keep on running for the gold and you might take it home someday
But keep on smiling.
