Corey Smith - Halfway Home (Acoustic)

The acoustic version of Corey Smith's "Halfway Home" from the Great Wide Underground project

(Verse)
I packed up a month long suitcase.
Goodbye. Daddy’s gotta go.
West bound all the way
‘till the highway runs into the coast, yeah.
Bus call ATL.
Load it up, get the trailer hitched.
By the time I get to bed
I’ll already be missing you kids.

(chorus)
But we’ll meet up in Sacramento,
One show then two days off.
We’ll rent a car, go up to Tahoe.
They say it's beautiful in fall.
Yeah, we’ll have fun in California
and I'll be halfway home.
Halfway home.

(Verse)
Be good to your mama please.
Don't give her any attitude.
Don't make me waste a phone call
having to get on to you.
I hate I’m missing all your football games,
the talent show at the middle school.
But your mama’s gonna video,
so, wherever I am, I can cheer for you

(Chorus)
‘till we catch up in Sacramento
Two weeks ain’t all that long.
We’ll end up in San Francisco.
Gonna cross the Golden Gate with y’all.
Yeah, we’ll have fun in California
and I'll be halfway home,
Yes I will.

(bridge)
This might seem like my choice to you,
but leaving’s something that your dad has gotta do.
And its nothing we can't make it through.
Just gotta keep on looking forward to

(Chorus)
meeting’ up in Sacramento
one show then two days off.
You’ll fly out of San Francisco
And I'll keep rollin’ on, yeah.
But we’ll have fun in California
and I'll be halfway home.
Yeah we’ll have fun in California boys,
and I'll be halfway,
Halfway home.
Halfway home, yes I will.

Corey I always love your acoustic versions of songs. Such a great singer/song writer. Not like these new “country singers” who sing about the same ole shit. You sing from the heart/experiences a lot of people can relate to that. Keep up the great work! We are all waiting on the album!!!
