Half a Smile

When I first looked up it was springtime
Corn was growing and the world was mine
Put my chin to a buttercup
And where the spring rolled down I drank it up
Anyone who knew would say that I was just ½ a smile from you

Summertime and the world was lazy
Honey, sometimes you just drove me crazy
Kicking at your problems with a worn out shoe
Like you got nothing better to do
Sorry but it’s true, how ‘bout just ½ a smile from you

(chorus)
I held you tighter than a rubber snake
But you still ran off for goodness sake
Watched you leaving like a train wreck
It’s only life so what the heck
Best thing you could do was leave me just a ½ a smile from you.

Corn fed baby with chicken legs
I wish you’d seen some better days
It must’ve felt like a big relief
When you let that tear roll down your cheek
Nothing left to do but wonder ‘bout all those ½ smiles from you

(chorus)
