Smile on My Face is about a realization which came to me as a result of nearly a decade living, working, and traveling outside the United States, where I was born. It describes this epiphany and my quest to live a different way of life. A life where time is valued over money. A life where simplicity is valued over opulence. And a life where, oftentimes, less is actually more.
lyrics
Smile on My Face
I realized we’re just rats in a race
everybody’s driving Benzes, frown on their face
that's why I choose to live peacefully by the sea
I may not got a lot, at least I’m happy
fuck yeah, smile on my face
fuck yeah, me and her, the smile on my face
the soft breeze my skin’s dark from the sun
I’ve finally slowed it down I’m not always on the run
and now I got the time to take a look at my girl and tell her
you’re the only thing I need in this world
fuck yeah, smile on my face
fuck yeah, me and her, the smile on my face
I’ve come to learn most the time less is more
I’m feeling the rich the sun’s rising outside my door
I got a hot breakfast, coffee in my cup
It's such a simple dream, I’m not giving up
fuck yeah, smile on my face
fuck yeah, me and her, the smile on my face
