Mr. Smith Lyrics by Delbert McClinton

Tall, Dark, and Handsome

2019

[Verse 1]
Ain't much shaking in a one-horse town
News travels fast when somethin' good comes around
Saturday night they gon' be laying it down
Mr. Smith and his band of renown

[Chorus]
Mr. Smith is back in town (Yeah, baby)
Mr. Smith is back in town
Heatin' things up, coolin' things down
Mr. Smith is back in town

[Verse 2]
Guy down at the service station said he bought two tickets last week
Turns out he can't use 'em and he's looking to let 'em go cheap
What say I buy 'em and you and me go steppin' out
And find out what this Mr. Smith stuff is all about

[Chorus]
Mr. Smith is back in town (Here he comes now)
Mr. Smith is back in town (You know they goin' be)
Heatin' things up, coolin' things down (That's what he's doin')
Mr. Smith is back in town

[Verse 3]
Now the joint was jumping and we were holding tight
Darcy danced holes in her shoes that night
When the band tried to stop, the people were yelling for more
The last thing I heard walking out the door:

[Outro]
Mr. Smith is back in town (Mr. Smith y'all)
Mr. Smith is back in town (We gonna have some fun tonight)
Mr. Smith is back in town (Woah dance honey)
Mr. Smith is back in town (Aw I love this)
Heatin' things up, coolin' things down
Mr. Smith is back in town

Mr. Smith is back in town
Mr. Smith is back in town
Mr. Smith is back in town
Mr. Smith is back in town
Heatin' things up, coolin' things down
Mr. Smith is back in town
