Well they took all of my money
They changed all of my songs
Now everybody's asking
What could be wrong?
Cause I'm smiling
I wont show no concern
Cause when the cold wind comes calling
I'll be waiting for the tide to turn
Well they promised me fame and fortune
Would be knocking at my door
But when the parties over
I was left with this guitar
Cause when the hurricane starts blowing
I'll be waiting for the tide to turn
Well I've been drinking with the devil
Oh he sends his best regards
He said that you've been cheating
And you marked all of the cards
But I'm smiling
I wont show no concern
Cause when the hard rains a falling
I'll be waiting for the tide to turn
They can keep all of my money
But I'll keep all of my soul
Cause everything I am now baby
Is worth its weight in gold
That's why I'm smiling
I wont show no concern
Cause when the thunder comes rolling
I'll be waiting for the tides to turn
Oh when the thunder comes rolling
I wont show no concern
No no no
