Lyrics
I've worked too long in the factory
It's really getting me down
The world keeps turning it's back on me
I'm thinking of leaving this town
My girlfriend's talking of marriages
I'm reaching for my coat
She's got big plans for carriages
But she don't know that we're broke
Life can get you down if you don't just smile, smile, smile
Keep a hold of yourself for just a while, while, while
You won't stop me now, no way now how
Ain't gonna rain on my parade
You won't stop me now, I'll make it some how
Coz I will never be afraid
My daddy used to say to me
Stand up for who you are
My life's not quite a tragedy
And I think that I could go far
Life can get you down if you don't just smile, smile, smile
Keep a hold of yourself for just a while, while, while
You won't stop me now, no way now how
Ain't gonna rain on my parade
You won't stop me now, I'll make it some how
Coz I will never be afraid
