Laugh'n A 1/2 Lyrics - Riskin' It All - Dad

I learned politeness on my mother's knee 

I learned by uprightness my number of friends should increase 

When I think about the things I've done 

I laugh out loud to no one 

Yeah to no one 

Chorus: 

Coz it's so hard to meet 

The eyes that I see 

When I try to open up my heart 

There's something inside me 'n I know it's good 

But understanding is misunderstood 

At the end of a smile; there's a laugh 'n a 1/2 

But I became honest Mr. Mistaken 

In spite of the curves my smile was makin' 

Bumpers and kickers in one big stream 

I grew up in a life size pin ball machine 

Yeah they're mean 

Chorus 

On my behalf 

There's something inside me 'n I know it's good 

But understanding is misunderstood 

At the end of a smile; ther's a laugh 'n a 1/2 

I tried to fill some silence 

Coz the silence feels so long 

I knew the ice was gettin' thinner 

But I kept skating on 

My mother threw me into this world as a winner 

But by the light of the yellow beer 

they tell jokes I'll never get to hear 

On my behalf 

There's something inside me...
