Smashmouth Lyrics

Smash wasn't his given name, no he earned in '96,
When he got caught on the 4th of July between a
johnboat and a wench.
Well Smash was never alone, he always had his friends
around.
But when they saw that trailer fall, they hit the road
and lit it out of town.

They said, "Smashmouth, this really wasn't how we
planned it out.
Just some grease on the side of the bow, now you're
spitting out teeth."
Smashmouth, Smashmouth, sometimes guilt will keep you
running out,
So they dodged cars and headed out, out across the
street.

Well, Smash was not a forgive-able man, so he chased
them both down,
You could see their bodies running through the night as
the moon stained the ground,
They said, "Hell, you'd be runnin' to, if you could see
the shape you're in.
What you need is to fix yourself, not to take it out on
your friends."

They said, "Smashmouth, Smashmouth, tell us what you
need and we'll work it out." He said, "Put my boat up, and take my dogs out, and
call my girl, too.
And promise me..." They said, "We promise you!" "That
you won't get into nothing that ain't made for you.

And If I find that you've been untrue...
I'm gonna kick you to the avenue!"

Some friends you win, and some friends you lose, and
some they don't give a damn,
And some friends will try to stand by your side, but
are gone when you are down again.
But Smash's friends were none of these, they just got
tired of sitting under the wind.
They heard that shutter slam, and told Smash to just a
come on in.

Smashmouth, Smashmouth, the boats in the water the dogs
are in the house,
One's on the floor, one's on the couch, watching porn
videos.
Smashmouth, Smashmouth, they took his last case and
they headed south,
Cause sometimes friends will leave you nothing to
choose,
But to kick them to the avenue, so he kicked them to
the avenue.
