Smithfield Upstairs
[Intro]
(Oh, oh, oh)
[Verse 1]
Got so much on my mind
So much to get off my chest
The things I'd ask are like a mountain
Of letters on a desk
And it's all so complicated
To tell lies from the truth
I think things would be more simple
If it was all under one roof
[Chorus]
I wish the world and all that's in it
Was nothin' but a little brick house
Somewhere to hang the heartache
I've been carryin' around
The door was always open
And love was always there
And God was always rockin'
By the window in His chair
All the questions that I'd have for the Man
If He was right upstairs
[Post-Chorus]
(Oh)
[Verse 2]
Yeah, I'd knock on that door
I'd sit at his feet
And I'd let Him tell me
"Lеt it go, let it be"
And I'd tell him somе of my plans
Just to hear Him laugh
He'd say, "Let's talk more often"
And I'd say, "I'd sure like that"
[Chorus]
I wish the world and all that's in it
Was nothin' but a little brick house
Somewhere to hang the heartache
I've been carryin' around
The door was always open
And love was always there
And God was always rockin'
By the window in His chair
All the questions that I'd have for the Man
If He was right upstairs
[Post-Chorus]
(Oh, oh, oh)
[Bridge]
Oh, I'd never wanna leave
Yeah, how good would it be
[Chorus]
I wish the world and all that's in it
Was nothin' but a little brick house
Somewhere to hang the heartache
I've been carryin' around
Oh, the door was always open
And love was always there
And God was always rockin'
By the window in His chair
All the questions that I'd have for the Man
All the questions that I'd have
If He was right upstairs
[Post-Chorus]
(Oh) Oh, oh
If He was right upstairs
[Outro]
I wish the world and all that's in it
Was nothin' but a little brick house
Somewhere to hang the heartache
I've been carryin' around
The door was always open
And love was always there
And God was always rockin'
By the window in His chair
All the questions that I'd have
