So Goddam Smart lyrics - Sheryl Crow (feat. Dave Alvin & Phil Alvin)

(from "Ghost Brothers of Darkland County" soundtrack)

Showed up at the wrong time

I've been kept outside

Never could get in at all

Even when I tried

Now I seen this whole world cryin'

Seven days from the start

I'm the only son conceived through wisdom

And that's what makes me so goddamn smart

So goddamn smart

You ain't nothing but a liar

I hear those words that you spew

You are unkind and thoughtless

And I'm ashamed of the things that you call the truth

But look at me with all of this beauty

And my words are spoken from the heart

I'm strong and getting stronger

That's what makes me so goddamn smart

So goddamn smart

Oh here we are

From dust to eternity

And here we will stay

'Til the truth just lets us be

So goddamn smart

So goddamn smart

You better keep your distance

My old ex-best friend

As we lived and died brothers forever

Our best wishes to you all we'll send

And some days are better than others

It seems our actions have torn us apart

And the moral is to try to love one another

That's what makes us so goddamn smart

So goddamn smart

So goddamn smart
