about

Mr Dylan had Mr Jones so I've taken Mr Smith!

lyrics

Mr Smith came to town
Unpacked his bags and quickly settled down
Became a high wire act you couldn’t get him down
Mr Smith stayed in town

Left his past far behind
Old and new no longer entwined
He’d always bet on black now red became his kind
Mr Smith was flying blind

Fortune favours one who finds a place to cut and run
And returns to start again
Just don’t look behind
Watch your back and bide your time
Hold your breath and count to ten

He lost his shirt once or twice
Takes his food very highly spiced
Behaves indecently
But he can pay the price
Mr Smith is always right

Streets that pushed you down
Got to leave this one horse town
Money talks so time to go
Weekends here and there
everywhere with no time to spare
And voices from your past are calling

The rules of old were not found
Forbidden fruit fallen on the ground
The last man standing
Was always bound
To cash his chips and go to ground

Mr Smith could not be found

Chris Gordon Brisbane, Australia

I studied music formally, both music theory and classical guitar. I love most styles of music but writing popular /contemporary songs resonates with, and creatively inspires me.
