Smack Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Rubber headed motor junky
Run me down and try to stone me
Throw my life away, and I’ll be worthless just like you
Somewhere now a baby’s crying
Down the road his mother’s dying
Shot a line and blew her mind, and now she’s turning blue

[Chorus]
Don't you throw your life away
Just wait until another day
Don't you throw your life away
'Cause baby, I can feel it
Don't you ever compromise it
Don't you even realize it
Don't you throw your life away, 'cause baby, I can feel it now

[Verse 2]
Trip and fall
I'm sure you all can tell me
What is on the wall
Behind the liquor store where you get smacked up all the time
Perfect little life you wasted, overdosed and that death you tasted
Scared you back into yourself, now you walk the line

[Chorus]
Don't you throw your life away
Just wait until another day
Don't you throw your life away
'Cause baby, I can feel it
Don't you ever compromise it
Don't you even realize it
Don't you throw your life away, 'cause baby, I can feel it now
[Outro]
Life away
Life away
Life away

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
