Lyrics Merle Haggard – Laugh It Off

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 a joke about the police don’t go over with a bang
If you tell them you’re a singer
Tthey 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

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
