Dad - Laugh'n a 1/2 lyrics

I learned politeness on my motherґs knee
I learned by uprightness my number of friends should increase
When I think about the things Iґve done
I laugh out loud to no one
Yeah to no one

Chorus:
Coz itґs so hard to meet
The eyes that I see
When I try to open up my heart
Thereґs something inside me ґn I know itґs good
But understanding is misunderstood
At the end of a smile; thereґs a laugh ґn a 1/2

But I became honest Mr. Mistaken
In spie of the curves my smile was makinґ
Bumpers and kickers in one big stream
I grew up in a life size pin ball machine
Yeah theyґre mean

Chorus

On my behalf
Thereґs something inside me ґn I know itґs good
But understanding is misunderstood
At the end of a smile; therґs a laugh ґn a 1/2

I tried to fill some silence
Coz the silence feels so long
I knew the ice was gettinґ 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 Iґll never get to hear

On my behalf
Thereґs something inside me...
