Laugh It Off Lyrics & Chords By 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 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.
