Lyrics Corey Smith – Well Enough

Keep it simple stupid
You’ve gotta learn to trust your gut
Or you’ll figure out
How to really screw a good thing up

Turned out to be a shit show
And I got to be the star
That record was a big flop
And it nearly broke my heart

But I learned my lesson
I learned my lesson, well
I learned my lesson
Quit second-guessin’ myself
I learned my lesson
Sometimes there ain’t nothin’ wrong
With leavin’ «well enough» alone
Leavin’ «well enough» alone

«Don’t be too insecure»
I think its the root of my distress
Never felt good enough
Even when I’s at my best
Like when I played the Opry
Some people said I stole the show

But I got tired of bein’ picked on
So I punched him in the mouth
I’m still a long way from perfect
But he’s nicer to me now

Yeah, I learned my lesson
I learned my lesson, well
I learned my lesson
Now, I ain’t so hard on myself
I learned my lesson
Sometimes there ain’t nothin’ wrong
With leavin’ «well enough» alone

I’ve seen my expectations
Go higher than I could climb
And damn it hurt
To watch ’em spiral in a steep nosedive
Like when that record man said
«Son you ain’t go what it takes
This business ain’t got much to do
With how you sound these days
You ain’t got the jawline or the biceps
You don’t fill out your jeans
And worst of all
You wanna hog all of the publishin'»

I wasted a bunch o’ years
Tryin’ to prove that bastard wrong
But he was tellin’ me the truth
I kinda knew it all along

But I learned my lesson
I learned my lesson, well
I learned my lesson
Quit second-guessin’ myself
I learned my lesson
Sometimes there ain’t nothin’ wrong
With leavin’ «well enough» alone
Leavin’ «well enough» alone
Leavin’ «well enough» alone
