Fast Track Lyrics - Corey Smith

He was born in West Virginia with a mountain in his yard, 

had a dream and then he followed it away. 

Ran to Tennessee, carried a guitar in his hand, 

signed a record deal and thought he had it made. 

Cut an album on "The Row" and then they ran it up the charts, 

called him a renegade and made him grow a beard. 

Went on an arena tour and did all the late-night TV, 

got nominated for New Artist of the Year. 

He took the fast track to the tip-top. He took the fast track to the tip-top. 

He took the fast track to the tip-top. Now he's looking for a slow train down.

Smiling for the cameras flashing on his pearly whites, 

oh, the lovely ladies thought he was the best. 

They waited in a line. Oh yeah, he had 'em taking turns. 

He was relishing the taste of his success. 

Flew on a private jet, he had a brand new XLII, 

rode in limousines instead of yellow cabs. 

He never gave a second thought to how much everything would cost. 

The label said they'd put it on his tab. 

He took the fast track to the tip-top. He took the fast track to the tip-top. 

He took the fast track to the tip-top. Now he's looking for a slow train down. 

When the single ran its course, the label pulled the plug, 

all the smoke and mirrors went away. 

Now he's just another sucker out there looking for a gig, 

drinking in a bar down on Broadway.

Now he's back in West Virginia with a mountain in his yard, 

wondering how it all could go so wrong. 

He's almost out of money and his ego's getting bruised 

and he thinks, "Maybe I should just try writing songs." 

Now there's an idea. 

He took the fast track to the tip-top. He took the fast track to the tip-top. 

He took the fast track to the tip-top. Now he's looking for a slow train down.
