There are some great song writers, but what makes the greatest are lyrics and quality music. Chris Smithers has become one of my favorites. If you are looking for some good music bound to please, he is you man. John Prine is my hero, given some time I think Smithers could catch up. If you get one of his albums, I am too lazy to find the name of it, but it has Cold Trail Blues, and Leave the Light On. In fact Leave the Light on may be the title. I like the line When nobody hates you, nobody knows you're alive. I don't have that problem.
It's gettin' edgy, time to find a war
There must be somethin' worth fightin' for
Peace is so peaceful, it ain't a way to survive
When nobody hates you, nobody knows you're alive
We got the guns, we got the oilmen too
They're like a choir, they wanna sing for you
Wham! Bam! Slip slidin' away
The less you got, the more you gonna pay
You want it, you'll get it
We got what you need
You ain't got to sweat it
We gonna make you bleed
We got some freedom, we got the iPod store
We got the savior, you couldn't ask for more
Take it or leave it, it's the deal of the day
And if you leave it, you get it anyway
You want it, you'll get it
We got what you need
You ain't got to sweat it
We gonna make you bleed
Get your coat on, you ain't supposed to laugh
This ain't a joke it's an epitaph
t's the rise and the fall, that's the name of the game
It's the land of the free, the blind leadin' the lame
It's the land of the free, the blind leadin' the lame
