"Smilin' On My Way" lyrics

I came here with stars in my eyes
Hadn't lived alotta life yet, barely 25
I had this picture in my head
Of fame and money and the spoils of success
Worked hard and gave it everything
Twenty some years of sweat and tears revealed to me
I don't need this place to sing my song
And I know in my heat before too long

I'll be smilin' on my way outta town
One of these days before that sun goes down
I'll be rolling down Interstate 40 pointed Eastbound
Smilin' on my way outta town

Wore out my welcome I believe
This ain't the Babylon that once beckoned me
Feels like I'm stuck down in a hole
Too much of this ol' town'll drown a man's soul
I'm gonna find a good rockin' chair
Put it out on a porch and sit down right there
At a little ol' cabin in the woods
I've gotta say that's really soundin' damn good

I'll be smilin' on my way outta town
One of these days before that sun goes down
I'll be rolling down Interstate 40 pointed Eastbound
Smilin' on my way outta town

Yeah, I'll be smilin' on my way outta town
Hair blowin' in the wind with my windows rolled down
I'll be flying past that Tennessee sign, Carolina bound
Smilin' on my way outta town
