Lyrics: Cowboy Troy. Loco Motive. Somebody's Smilin' On Me.


(feat. Big Kenny & Tim McGraw)

Like dust in the wind, sand slips through your fingers.
Similar to shattered dreams that still linger.
Try to succeed in whatever you do,
But affairs of the past seem to laugh an' mark you.
I'm worse than a has-been 'cause you say I never will be.
I'm just tryin' to excel, so you fail me.
'Cause boundaries are made to be broken.
And I'm leavin' no but nay, say it's chokin',
On the dust that I'm kickin' up behind me.
It's diffcult findin' words to define me,
But Hick-Hop Cowboy from the D-A double L A-S.
So fresh in the contest.
Rockin' stages like Guns n' Roses,
I been flowin' since Madonna was strikin' poses.
I can't quit now 'cause there's too much buzz,
Am I'm gettin' my chance because:

Somebody's smilin' on me.
Somebody's smilin' on me.
Somebody's smilin' on me.
Count your blessin's, can't you see?
He's smilin' on you and smilin' on me.

I remember the day, sittin' in the pews,
When I heard the Preacher sayin': "Spread the news."
I was feelin' the blues till I had a chance to choose.
Now I feel the love to the soles of my shoes.
Try to walk in the path of a guidin' light:
I thank the Lord for everything when I pray at night.
'Cause I can feel His strength, I can feel His power.
He's the one I turn to in my darkest hour.
Try to be a good man, never called a saint:
Never walked on water so I know I ain't.
I might swim in the whiskey
But I'm bathed in the blood of The Man.
If you want peace, raise your hand.
And when Heaven comes, it won't be no drama,
And if you see Her first, say hi to the Momma.

Somebody's smilin' on me.
Somebody's smilin' on me.
Somebody's smilin' on me.
Count your blessin's, can't you see?
He's smilin' on you and smilin' on me.

Somebody's smilin' on me.
Somebody's smilin' on me.
Somebody's smilin' on me.
Count your blessin's, can't you see?
He's smilin' on you.

Somebody's smilin' on me.
Somebody's smilin' on me.
Somebody's smilin' on me.
Count your blessin's, can't you see?
He's smilin' on you. He's smilin' on me.

Yeah
Cowboy Troy
