Well Enough - Corey Smith

Keep it simple stupid

You’ve gotta learn to trust your gut

Or you’ll figure out

How to really screw a good thing up

Like when I re-recorded

Half my early catalog

It sounded commercial

Wound up pissin' my core fan base off

But it wasn’t my intention

Hell, I thought it made a lotta sense

«Go back, and try again

Add a few more instruments»

Turned out to be a shit show

And I got to be the star

That record was a big flop

And it nearly broke my heart

But I learned my lesson

I learned my lesson, well

I learned my lesson

Quit second-guessin' myself

I learned my lesson

Sometimes there ain’t nothin' wrong

With leavin' «well enough"alone

Leavin' «well enough"alone

«Don't be too insecure»

I think its the root of my distress

Never felt good enough

Even when I’s at my best

Like when I played the Opry

Some people said I stole the show

All I remember’s

Steppin' on that man’s guitar solo

I never heard a compliment

Without some asshole in my head

Puttin' me down

Tellin' me I’ll never be worth a shit

But I got tired of bein' picked on

So I punched him in the mouth

I’m still a long way from perfect

But he’s nicer to me now

Yeah, I learned my lesson

I learned my lesson, well

I learned my lesson

Now, I ain’t so hard on myself

I learned my lesson

Sometimes there ain’t nothin' wrong

With leavin' «well enough"alone

I’ve seen my expectations

Go higher than I could climb

And damn it hurt

To watch 'em spiral in a steep nosedive

Like when that record man said

«Son you ain’t go what it takes

This business ain’t got much to do

With how you sound these days

You ain’t got the jawline or the biceps

You don’t fill out your jeans

And worst of all

You wanna hog all of the publishin'»

I wasted a bunch o' years

Tryin' to prove that bastard wrong

But he was tellin' me the truth

I kinda knew it all along

But I learned my lesson

I learned my lesson, well

I learned my lesson

Quit second-guessin' myself

I learned my lesson

Sometimes there ain’t nothin' wrong

With leavin' «well enough"alone

Leavin' «well enough"alone

Leavin' «well enough"alone
