When Did You Figure it Out

When did you figure it out
That it was time for a change
There are some things you can’t do anything about
But this something you arranged
When did you figure it out
You can’t surrender control
Every time you don’t do it yourself
You’re gonna get left out in the cold

When did you figure it out
That you can do anything
Even with all of your doubts
You can’t erase dreams or instinct
When did you figure it out
That when the heat comes on you can’t concentrate
Too many choices with twists and turns
Have got you talking in your sleep while you’re wide awake

When did you figure it out
That it was time for a change
There are some things you can’t do anything about
But fate is something you arrange
When did you figure it out
That messages are being sent
A lifeline network’s been set up
You better sharpen up your telepathy

Jeff's Appalachian drawl slides in and around his guitar playing and Smith says “on a good night the stories and songs swing on top of a funky kind of country blues pop stomp”. Now residing in the swamps of Virginia, Smith performs club gigs and
concerts. ... more
