Ballad Of A Southern Man

Twenty-One

Ain't Going Out Tonight

If I Could Do It Again

Drinkin' Again

WHERE TO FIND ME

SIGNED, SOBER YOU

Empty Benches
(c) J. Murdock McInnes Vasey

[intro]

[instrumental]

The benches are all empty
The old people are all gone
Hard to say where they go
Have they really gone home?

They were scattered in the park
Some conservatively gray
Others in bright colors
Like chocolates on a tray

Some alone took up a bench
Or in pairs sat in silence
Some not caring about convention
In animated conversations

Some walked, carried their dogs
Others struggled, pulled along
Headphones on their head
They muttered some old song

[instrumental]

I wish I was a little older
And it was time to go home
As it is I walk the park
I seem to always walk alone

When you are a little younger
You still have dreams and hopes
Still working on your schemes
But you are running out of rope

I wish I was a little older
And I no longer had such thoughts
Whatever dreams I may still have
I think I may have bought

My dreams are not my own
I saw them in a store
Not something I have grown
Left me wanting a bit more

It won't be long before it's time
I will no longer have to walk
I'll take my bench and spend the day
'Till it's time to go away

[instrumental]

It won't be long before it's time
I will no longer have to walk
I'll take my bench and spend the day
'Till it's time to go away

[outro]





Empty Benches (6b)

As I listen to these songs I realized they sounded so much the same, so I thought why not put them together and see how it comes out.

Smith has amassed an unfailingly devout fan base, not only in his native Southeast region, but all around the nation, simply by telling it the way it is.  He has released 10 albums—including 2011’s Top 20 release “The Broken Record”.  Corey has written every word on every album and has produced 9 out of 10 of the records. In Summer 2015, Corey teamed up with producer Keith Stegall (Alan Jackson, Zac Brown Band) for his album, “While the Gettin’ Is Good,” released on Sugar Hill Records.  Smith’s concerts, which were documented on his last live record, “Live in Chattanooga”, regularly sell out, with audiences singing along to such fan favorites as the coming-of-age anthem “Twenty-One,” the nostalgic time warp “If I Could Do It Again” and the group hug “I Love Everyone”.  Corey has a consistent touring history, usually hitting around 120 dates per year, but recently has taken a pause form touring to undergo a risky eye surgery.  During his time at home, Corey has begun releasing solo acoustic tracks every week, directly to his devoted fan base via his YouTube series Songsmith Weekly and all music streaming platforms.  These tracks, such as “Cellophane”, “Where I Wish I Was” and “Going Blind” have re-energized his fan base.  Corey is planning in compiling these releases in a more traditional album format later this year and is looking forward to hitting the road soon in support of all this new music.
