Into the city, I'm runnin' on fumes
Late for the downbeat but I'm on my way
I got no money just a trunk full of strings
A backseat full of Peavey PA
Beats diggin' ditches, workin' for my dad
But it's not what I thought it would be
The entertainment gets no love from the girls
And I can't even drink there for free
A man in the corner easy to ignore
Yeah I’m a, I'm a broken record on a moonlight tour
I sell my soul to keep on singin' along
In come the money and out goes a song
Into a truck stop somewhere North Carolina
Get out, you better stretch while you can
Theres no more stopping untill we reach the show
Oh man what’s that smell in the van
It ain’t a good life but its our life to live
One hangover to the next
If theres a castle for a king of gold
Lord knows I ain’t found it yet
A man in a box takes a caller at the door
Yeah I’m a, I'm a broken record on the nightclub tour
I think its workin’ cuz they’re singin' along
In come the money and out goes the song
Ba da da da da da da da
Ba da da da da da da da
Ba da da da da da da da da da da da da da
Into the city, now I travel in style
Three buses and four transfer trucks
The paparazzi’s always harassing me
Yeah I’m a star now but I feel like I’m stuck
A man on the edge, now I can’t be ignored
Yeah I’m a, I’m a broken record on a stadium tour
I keep trying to figure where it all went wrong
Income the money and out goes a song
Ba da da da da da da da
Ba da da da da da da da
Ba da da da da da da da da da da da da da
Ba da da da da da da da
Ba da da da da da da da
Ba da da da da da da da da da da da da da
Backroad lyrics - Corey Smith
I've been down this road before.
It's like the back side of my hand.
And there ain't nothing up ahead
but cow pasture and timberland.
Don't you worry baby I'm gonna take it nice and slow.
I'll keep a tight grip on the steering wheel and my eyes on the road.
Just this one time,
I promise I won't ask again.
It'll be our little secret,
honey I won't tell a soul
and if I see somebody coming I'll be sure to let you know.
Everybody does it, don't you be ashamed.
We'll still make the movie, we'll just be a little late.
And let me love you on a backroad.
Let's make a wreckless memory.
There ain't a house within ten miles of here, no.
So nobody's gonna see.
Take your seatbelt off and climb on over here girl,
leave the driving up to me.
If we get too hot and heavy there's a place where we can go.
Down this worn out hunting trail a half mile off the road.
And we might not make it back there in this little two wheel drive.
But judging by the way you're kissing me it's at least worth a try.
I'll turn this Mustang into an F250 4x4.
If they catch us back there we'll probably go to jail.
But I'd clear out my bank account and gladly pay the bail.
And I promise I'll still love you, and maybe even more.
I won't think bad about you girl, I know you're not a whore.
Let me love you on a backroad.
Let's make a wreckless memory.
There ain't a house within ten miles of here, no.
So nobody's gonna see.
Take your seatbelt off and climb on over here girl,
leave the driving up to me.
I'm rock hard, you're so hot.
I think I'm turning blue.
Come on baby please, you know I'd do the same for you.
Let me love you on a backroad.
Let's make a wreckless memory.
There ain't a house within ten miles of here, no.
So nobody's gonna see.
Take your seatbelt off, get a little comfortable, and leave the driving up to me.
It's like the back side of my hand.
And there ain't nothing up ahead
but cow pasture and timberland.
Don't you worry baby I'm gonna take it nice and slow.
I'll keep a tight grip on the steering wheel and my eyes on the road.

Roots lyrics - Corey Smith
A man out of country
A fish out of string
A square in the circle of souls
Its been way too long since I’ve been home
Lord get me back to my roots
A fish out of string
A square in the circle of souls
Its been way too long since I’ve been home
Lord get me back to my roots
New Day lyrics - Corey Smith
The long night’s over, the moon touched down
A thin blanket of dew is softenin’ the ground
Theres a cool breeze cuttin’ through the mornin’ mist
A fresh breath of air from the good Lord’s lips
Run to the window, gonna look and see
There’s a blackbird sittin’ in a dogwood tree
Singin’ Do Da Ditta Da, do da doo
Do da ditta da dee
Yeah It’s a new day, a new day
Its a new day, a new day
Put your feet on the floor, it’s no time to rest
The wolf’s in the den and the hog’s in the nest, yes
No more waiting on the promise land
We’re gonna build this mansion with our own two hands
Don’t let them tell you it can’t be done
Let the truth be heard, the Gospel be sung
Its a new day, a new day
Its a new day, a new day
Its a new day, a new day
Its a new day, a new day
Oo child don’t hang your head
Child don’t hang your head
Wipe away your sleepy eyes

A story’s not been written yet
Though shadows fall there is hope every sunrise
Oh yeah

Its a new day, a new day

Well is its a new Ooo Ooo day

Sugar Daddy lyrics - Corey Smith
You got no cash in the bank
You got no gas in your tank
Wish you could move but you can’t
There’s no running on empty, no
But girl I got what ya need

Oh its takes money to make money
If you can’t get it now ya probably never will
You know that big game hunters and they’s preying honey
Your either running scared or your aiming to kill
They call me a criminal, It’s only political
Yet if your pockets are full, you can pay off the law here
Just like on capitol hill, write a check, block the bill
We want to keep what we steal, yeah that,s me crying freedom
Oh its takes money to make money
If you can’t get it now ya probably never will
You know that big game hunters and they’s preying honey

Down To Earth lyrics - Corey Smith
A no-good Shepard lost all the sheep,
Yeah, he got drunk and fell asleep
and now they’re running through the streets.
Causing a commotion,
Yeah, they’re holding up the progress.
Lets carve the boy to pieces
And then serve him to the press.
Yes, yes.
They though he was a rock,
Turned out to be a ragdoll.
When we put him on a pedestal,
We set him up to fall. Now,
hes hanging by a thread,
Were busting at the seams
He got a head full of crazy,
We got a heart full of dreams.
And we talk about love
and its ‘Aw, man. Whatever’
You’ve heard it before,
We’re just preaching to the choir.
Time after time, we fumble and falter.
Swear we can change,
But who’s got the power?
And it weighs you down, And it weighs me down.
And it weighs you down, And it weighs me down,
Down to Earth.
We’ve got a constitution,
We the people born to sin.
We need a savior to redeem us
from the flesh were living in.
Yeah, everyone’s a hypocrite,
can’t practice what we preach, no.
The professor ain’t no better
than the ones hes trying to teach.
And we talk about God
and it’s ‘Aw, man. Whatever’
You’ve heard it before,
We’re just preaching to the choir.
Time after time, we fumble and falter.
Swear we can change,
But who’s got the power?
Oh, it weighs you down, Oh, it weighs me down.
Oh, it weighs you down, Oh, it weighs me down,
Down to Earth.
What we do is,
far from what we know we ought to.
Its me, its you.
Yeah, human is human.
Well, the war is never over,
the battles never won, no.
Who could find the light
Under the barrel of a gun?
“Its freedom for the wealthy,
Or justice for the poor.”
There lies the ammunition
for this politicians war.
And we talk about peace
and its ‘Aw, man. Whatever’
We’ve heard it before,
Your just preaching to the choir.
Time after time, we fumble and falter.
We swear we can change,
But who’s got the power?
And it weighs you down, And it weighs me down.
And it weighs you down, And it weighs me down,
Down to Earth.
Down to Earth.
Yeah, he got drunk and fell asleep
and now they’re running through the streets.
Causing a commotion,
Yeah, they’re holding up the progress.
Lets carve the boy to pieces
And then serve him to the press.

Silly lyrics - Corey Smith
Sweet lemonade on ice, chocolate cake piled high
Icing flick upon the fingers of the birthday boy
He blew out all the candles, got his wish within the hour
A shiny new guitar his daddy bought him
And I watched him run around, gettin dizzy falling down
Oh I wish how I could join him
I want to giggle like the children, be silly for a while
Silly like the fools we are
Oh ignorance was blissin’, it was easy to believe
Momma and Daddy were invincible, America was beautiful
From sea to shining sea, No slavery, No slaughtering of the buffalo
The world was black and white
Couldn’t sleep on Christmas night
And all my doggies went to heaven
Oh Oh Oo
I want to giggle like the children, be silly for a while
Silly like the fools we are
Come on lets giggle like the children, Children’s all we are
Let’s be silly like the fools we are
Who are we, to be so bold
To think we are as wise as we are old
The more I see here
The more I’m certain, I’m blind
Through the forest and the fields
Down the mountains through the hills
The more I see here,
The more I’m certain I’m blind
Well I read a lot of books
You know I took a lot of class
Philosophy, Religion, Sociology
I’m a presidential scholar, I got a presidential seal
On the degree collecting dust down in the basement
Well I’m given up the search
You know I’m going back to Church
Give me Law and give me scripture
Give me Jesus
I want to giggle like the children, be silly for a while
Silly like the fools we are
Come on lets giggle like the children, children’s all we are
Let’s be silly like the fools we are
Yeah lets giggle like the children, Make a wish upon a star
And awe and wonder like the fools we are
Oh oh oh oh
Icing flick upon the fingers of the birthday boy
He blew out all the candles, got his wish within the hour
A shiny new guitar his daddy bought him
And I watched him run around, gettin dizzy falling down
Oh I wish how I could join him
I want to giggle like the children, be silly for a while
Silly like the fools we are
Oh ignorance was blissin’, it was easy to believe
Momma and Daddy were invincible, America was beautiful
From sea to shining sea, No slavery, No slaughtering of the buffalo
The world was black and white
Couldn’t sleep on Christmas night
And all my doggies went to heaven
Oh Oh Oo
I want to giggle like the children, be silly for a while
Silly like the fools we are
Come on lets giggle like the children, Children’s all we are
Let’s be silly like the fools we are
Who are we, to be so bold
To think we are as wise as we are old
The more I see here
The more I’m certain, I’m blind
Through the forest and the fields
Down the mountains through the hills
The more I see here,
The more I’m certain I’m blind
Well I read a lot of books
You know I took a lot of class

The Carnival lyrics - Corey Smith
Here we go again, around and around.
Oh, it's a merry ride 'til you're back on the ground.
You dizzy up the child 'til the tickets are gone,
And it's time for the carnival to be moving on.
It carries you up. Oh, it makes you feel alive.
It makes you laugh. It makes you cry.
We fold the tents. We take the carousel apart and roll away.
We roll away.
The sooner you can learn it never lasts,
the more you'll enjoy the carnival.
Don't hold you're breath. Don't close your eyes.
Let go of the handlebars, so your fingers can fly.
Seize the night and the autumn wind,
'til we close the house of fun and leave town again.
Don't be afraid to be so easily amused.
It's a thrill we all could use.
Just like love, it wears a candy apple coat that melts away.
We melt away.
And the sooner you can learn it never lasts,
the more you'll enjoy the carnival.
Listen for the calliope.
Keep lookout for the clowns,
Be the first in line, the last to leave
When we come back around.
It carries you up. Oh, it makes you feel alive.
It makes you laugh. It makes you cry.
Just like love, it wears a candy apple coat that melts away.
We melt away.
And it's over in the twinkling of an eye,
so enjoy the carnival.
Enjoy the carnival.
Oh, it's a merry ride 'til you're back on the ground.
You dizzy up the child 'til the tickets are gone,
And it's time for the carnival to be moving on.
It carries you up. Oh, it makes you feel alive.
It makes you laugh. It makes you cry.
We fold the tents. We take the carousel apart and roll away.
We roll away.
The sooner you can learn it never lasts,
the more you'll enjoy the carnival.
Don't hold you're breath. Don't close your eyes.
Let go of the handlebars, so your fingers can fly.
Seize the night and the autumn wind,

Don't be afraid to be so easily amused.
It's a thrill we all could use.

Keeping Up With The Joneses lyrics - Corey Smith
Back in the day, back in the hills, we were busted,
Made a living on the government dime.
Mama couldn't keep a job,
and the alimony check never came on time.
We were poor. I wasn't proud, only angry
that our daddy couldn't send us more.
Always embarrassed by my free lunch card,
and food stamps for the grocery store.
No keeping up with the Joneses.
No keeping up with the Joneses.
When you're stuck on the bottom,
You take what you can get.
I went to school in hand-me-downs from my cousin,
Baggy britches seemed to suit me well,
Kinda thin, kinda loose in the middle,
Slouching in after the tardy bell.
The teacher never called me trash,
But I knew what she was thinking when she looked at me,
Born to be the underclass,
Growing up to make a living on our charity.
No keeping up with the Joneses.
No keeping up with the Joneses.
When you're stuck on the bottom,
You take what you can get.
Don't go looking down your nose at me neighbor,
I can spot you from a yard away,
Don't try to judge me by the clothes I'm wearing or the cars in my driveway.
I'm not rich but I'm not poor any longer,
And I'm happy as a man can be.
I'm proud to work, I'm proud to pay my taxes,
And I'm grateful for my family.
No keepin' up with the Joneses,
No keepin' up with the Joneses,
When you come up from the bottom,
You love whatever you got.
Ain't nothing, ain't no one, gonna hold me down.
Ain't nothing, ain't no one, gonna hold me down.
Made a living on the government dime.
Mama couldn't keep a job,
and the alimony check never came on time.
We were poor. I wasn't proud, only angry
that our daddy couldn't send us more.
Always embarrassed by my free lunch card,
and food stamps for the grocery store.
No keeping up with the Joneses.
No keeping up with the Joneses.
When you're stuck on the bottom,
You take what you can get.
I went to school in hand-me-downs from my cousin,
Baggy britches seemed to suit me well,
Kinda thin, kinda loose in the middle,
Slouching in after the tardy bell.
The teacher never called me trash,
But I knew what she was thinking when she looked at me,
Born to be the underclass,
Growing up to make a living on our charity.
No keeping up with the Joneses.
No keeping up with the Joneses.
When you're stuck on the bottom,
You take what you can get.
Don't go looking down your nose at me neighbor,
I can spot you from a yard away,
Don't try to judge me by the clothes I'm wearing or the cars in my driveway.
I'm not rich but I'm not poor any longer,
And I'm happy as a man can be.
I'm proud to work, I'm proud to pay my taxes,
And I'm grateful for my family.
No keepin' up with the Joneses,
No keepin' up with the Joneses,
When you come up from the bottom,
You love whatever you got.
Ain't nothing, ain't no one, gonna hold me down.
Ain't nothing, ain't no one, gonna hold me down.
Arc Of A Rainbow lyrics - Corey Smith
Look at the sky on fire,
Who struck the match,
Who fanned the flames,
Everyone's pointin' a finger,
'Cause nobody cares for the blame.
See the clouds getting thicker,
Cry out to God as the embers burn,
Said it's too late for redemption,
Read all the books but they never learn. (no, no)
Love is a compass,
It will turn you around 180 degrees,
The arc of a rainbow.
It's a promise made,
It's a promise kept,
Let's walk two by two,
The arc of a rainbow.
Feels like a thief in the night,
Came and carried your blanket away,
You keep reachin' for cover,
Because you're as naked as a new born babe, (yeah, yeah)
Got your eyes wide open but you can't really see a thing,
Staring up at an old moon,
So afraid of what the season will bring. (Oh, oh)
Love is a compass,
It will turn you around 180 degrees,
The arc of a rainbow.
It's a promise made,
It's a promise kept,
Let's walk two by two,
The arc of a rainbow.
Everyday is a revelation,
Hear a trumpet, see a kingdom come,
They can build us a fortress,
But fear it won't protect us from (no, no)
If it's a matter of time,
Well then time oughta matter more,
I think it's already over,
If the end is all you're waiting for.
Love is a compass,
It will turn you around 180 degrees,
The arc of a rainbow.
Each tear is a prism,
Hope is a ray of light,
Let's walk two by two,
The arc of a rainbow.
Love is a compass,
It will turn you around 180 degrees,
The arc of a rainbow.
It's a promise made,
It's a promise kept,
Let's walk two by two,
The arc of a rainbow.
Who struck the match,
Who fanned the flames,
Everyone's pointin' a finger,
'Cause nobody cares for the blame.
See the clouds getting thicker,
Cry out to God as the embers burn,
Said it's too late for redemption,
Read all the books but they never learn. (no, no)
Love is a compass,
It will turn you around 180 degrees,
The arc of a rainbow.

We chart our courses but always collide,
We stumble from the wreck wait for the rescue to arrive,
They put out the fire but the smoke never clears,
It's a blanket of lies getting thicker by the year.
I'm not throwin' stones,
I've got a glass house of my own,
But I won't pretend I was wrong,
When I'm not the one to blame.
You took off your gloves with my back to the wall,
You threw the first punch and I took a hard fall,
But I'm on trial now they beg for my plea,
They label you the victim and they put the cuffs on me.
I'm not throwin' stones,
I've got a glass house of my own,
But I won't pretend I was wrong,
When I'm not the one to blame. (no!)
I'll forgive and forget,
I'll turn the other cheek,
But I won't lay in your bed,
When it's your turn to weep,
When it's your turn to cry yourself to sleep.
I'm not throwin' stones,
Got a glass house of my own,
But I won't pretend I was wrong,
When I'm not the one, I am not the one,
To blame.
We chart our courses but always collide.
We stumble from the wreck wait for the rescue to arrive,
They put out the fire but the smoke never clears,
It's a blanket of lies getting thicker by the year.
I'm not throwin' stones,
I've got a glass house of my own,
But I won't pretend I was wrong,
When I'm not the one to blame.
You took off your gloves with my back to the wall,
You threw the first punch and I took a hard fall,
But I'm on trial now they beg for my plea,
They label you the victim and they put the cuffs on me.
I'm not throwin' stones,
I've got a glass house of my own,
But I won't pretend I was wrong,
When I'm not the one to blame. (no!)
I'll forgive and forget,
I'll turn the other cheek,
But I won't lay in your bed,
When it's your turn to weep,
When it's your turn to cry yourself to sleep.
I'm not throwin' stones,
Got a glass house of my own,
But I won't pretend I was wrong,
When I'm not the one, I am not the one,
To blame.
We chart our courses but always collide.
Juliet lyrics - Corey Smith
Been cryin' in my sleep,
Been screamin' out your name,
I wake up in a sweat,
Oh, Juliet, bearin' the burden of the blame.
There's a lock upon our door,
My keys don't seem to fit,
You've shut me out and cut me off, long enough,
Can't we talk a little bit?
Open up, let me in,
Let's start this thing over again,
Don't throw in the towel yet,
The fighting can beat out of my chest.
I know I'm asking a lot,
You're the only good thing I've got,
Juliet, Juliet.
There's a razor on your tongue,
So put that knife back into the drawer,
I'm already hurtin' honey,
You've already cut me to the core.
Oh just think of what you're saying,
What about that new born baby,
Hell I know that I was wrong,
But he's mine too,
And you can't take him away. (no, no)
So open up, let me in,
Let's start this thing over again,
Don't throw in the towel yet,
The fighting can beat out of my chest.
Tell me all is not lost,
Can we fix all the damage I've caused,
Juliet, Juliet.
This brick on my hand,
Gets to weighin' me down,
You've been pretendin' not to notice,
Buried your head in the ground.
Open up, let me in,
Oh I wanna come home again,
Don't throw in the towel yet,
The fighting can beat out of my chest.
I know I'm asking a lot,
You're the only good thing I've got,
Tell me it's not over yet,
Can't you learn to forgive and forget,
Juliet.
Been screamin' out your name,
I wake up in a sweat,
Oh, Juliet, bearin' the burden of the blame.
There's a lock upon our door,
My keys don't seem to fit,
You've shut me out and cut me off, long enough,
Can't we talk a little bit?
Open up, let me in,
Let's start this thing over again,
Don't throw in the towel yet,
The fighting can beat out of my chest.
I know I'm asking a lot,
You're the only good thing I've got,
Juliet, Juliet.
There's a razor on your tongue,
So put that knife back into the drawer,

You've already cut me to the core.

Hell I know that I was wrong,
But he's mine too,
And you can't take him away. (no, no)
So open up, let me in,
Let's start this thing over again,
Don't throw in the towel yet,
The fighting can beat out of my chest.
Tell me all is not lost,

Juliet, Juliet.
This brick on my hand,

Buried your head in the ground.

Tell me it's not over yet,
Can't you learn to forgive and forget,
Juliet.
Powerful Feeling lyrics - Corey Smith
Hey young lady,
Don't be alarmed,
He might come on kinda strong,
But he don't mean you any harm.
You write the book,
Make him learn the rules,
Once you get him trained oh,
You can let him bend a few.
If he ain't told ya yet,
He will soon enough,
We suffer here together girl,
We're achin' to be loved.
It's a powerful feeling,
When the flame hits the fuse,
No concern for the damage,
When your days get confused.
Oh no, what a powerful feeling.
It's a powerful feeling.
Hello young man,
Try to be polite,
Mind your filthy manners boy,
You'd better treat her right,
If you go to dinner,
Don't run out on the bill,
Don't go blowin' out the candles,
'Cause you think you've sealed the deal,
The tough get goin' when the goin' gets tough,
But goin's not the answer when she's achin' to be loved. (no)
It's a powerful feeling,
When the flame hits the fuse,
No concern for the damage,
When your days get confused.
Oh no, sun burns in a halo,
It's a powerful feeling.
Little scars in your eyes,
Got struck by the blow,
When you first realize,
What a powerful feeling.
Cute little babies grow to girls and boys,
Mommys and Daddys keep a bedroom full of toys,
But they come of age, learn what their parts are for,
Put 'em together and they're not children anymore, (no)
It's a powerful feeling,
Sun burns in a halo,
It's a powerful feeling.
Little stars in your eyes,
Got struck by the blow,
What a stupid surprise,
It's a powerful feeling,
It's a powerful feeling.
Don't be alarmed,
He might come on kinda strong,
But he don't mean you any harm.
You write the book,
Make him learn the rules,
Once you get him trained oh,
You can let him bend a few.
If he ain't told ya yet,
He will soon enough,
We suffer here together girl,
We're achin' to be loved.
It's a powerful feeling,
When the flame hits the fuse,
No concern for the damage,
When your days get confused.
Oh no, what a powerful feeling.
It's a powerful feeling.

Dirtier By The Year lyrics - Corey Smith
I got a bad condition,
Yeah it's been going around,
Since Eve stole the fruit from the tree,
It's a thing for the dirty little thing we do,
I think about it don't freak with me.
Yeah there's a movie collection in the back of my mind,
It's filthy as a garbage pale,
If it keeps piling up at the rate it's growing,
I'm gonna be a perverted old man.
Yeah, I get dirtier by the year,
Yeah, I get dirtier by the year,
I'm more obscene than a hustler magazine,
And I get dirtier by the year.
The voice in my head is a four letter train,
It would bring my mama to tears,
Sometimes I'm ashamed just to listen myself,
Man I'm glad nobody else can hear.
Yeah, it gets dirtier by the year,
Yeah, it gets dirtier by the year,
I'm nasty enough to make a stripper blush,
And I get dirtier by the year.
I'm like a wolf on the prow,
But there's no eating allowed,
My dinner's back home on the table.
But all these fantasies,
Keep propositionin' me,
I try to stop but I'm not able. (no)
I went to the preacher,
I said I must confess,
I feel I'm rotten down to the core,
He said 'Don't be so hard on yourself now son,
What do you think all this religion is for?'
We get dirtier by the year,
We get dirtier by the year,
Yeah the longer we live,
The more there is to forgive,
We get dirtier by the year,
We get dirtier by the year.
Yeah it's been going around,
Since Eve stole the fruit from the tree,
It's a thing for the dirty little thing we do,

It's filthy as a garbage pale,
If it keeps piling up at the rate it's growing,
I'm gonna be a perverted old man.
Yeah, I get dirtier by the year,
Yeah, I get dirtier by the year,
I'm more obscene than a hustler magazine,
And I get dirtier by the year.

It would bring my mama to tears,
Sometimes I'm ashamed just to listen myself,
Man I'm glad nobody else can hear.

I'm nasty enough to make a stripper blush,
And I get dirtier by the year.

We get dirtier by the year,

The more there is to forgive,
We get dirtier by the year,
We get dirtier by the year.
