Smile At Me Again

(Kris Kristofferson - Stephen Bruton)



Monday caught me early comin' down by surprice

Waitin' for the signal light to change

Breathin' somethin' bitter that was burnin' my eyes

Thinkin' I'd go drink myself back home on the range.



Shot down and sinking fast on Sunset Strip

Holdin' onto somethin' in my head

Everything gets heavy when you're losin' your grip

Nothing looks as empty as a motel bed.



Lord I'm still a stranger in this God forsaken land

Further from my future and my friends

I'm gonna take enough to wake me up

And make me on last one night stand.



Then take me home to something's gonna smile at me again

Break my connections when I shake me loose

Give my old equipment to the band

Let my friend the devil pay the rest of my dues.



Take me home to something's gonna smile at me again...
