Corey Smith - Give Me Healing Lyrics
Morning sun so bright, I put shades on my eyes,
hide my face from the spotlight.
I walk the streets with this pack on my back
full of books and the poetry I write.
Life’s a metaphorical battlefield.
and I gain ground, on a bench in the park or a café downtown.
But each night when the shades come off,
I look back on the lines I’ve crossed and I hang my head.
I’m getting better but I ain’t there yet.
Still busting up this brick on my shoulders.
All my troubles set in stone make it hard to carry on.
But I’ve got praying hands hanging over,
the pillow where I lay my broken head at the end of the day
and they give me healing. They give me healing.
Wheels turn and seasons roll, across the highs and lows -
July hot, January cold -
and I pack heavy, 'cause I got to be ready for
whatever weather the wind may blow.
I’ve learned a lot from the road behind,
the bridges I’ve crossed, the mountains I’ve climbed, the interstate signs,
leading me through each stage in the back of my mind.
But each night when the curtain falls,
I take account of the highway’s cost and I hang my head.
I’m getting closer but I ain’t there yet.
I'm still busting up this brick on my shoulders,
all my troubles set in stone. Sometimes it’s hard to carry on,
but I’ve got praying hands hanging over,
the pillow where I lay my broken head at the end of the day
and they give me healing.
And I won’t lay my hammer down until they lay me in the ground.
And I’ll keep singing like it’s Sunday morning,
lightening my load until these wheels run out of road.
I’ll be busting up this brick on my shoulders.
Hammer falls and I see stars. I still wonder what they are.
I’ve got praying hands hanging over,
the pillow where I lay my broken head at the end of the day
and they give me healing. They give me healing.

Morning sun so bright
I put shades on my eyes
Hide my face from the spot life
I walk theses streets with this pack on my back
Full of books and the poetry I write
Life’s a metaphorical battle field
This pen is my sword
This book is my shield
And I gain ground
On a bench in a park at a cafe down town
But each night when the shades come off
I look back at the lines I cross and hang my head
I’m getting better but I ain't there yet
Still busting up this brick on my shoulders
Feels like my troubles set in stone
Sometimes it’s hard to carry on
But I have praying hands hanging over
The pillow where I lay my broken head
At the end of the day and they give me healing
Wheels turn and seasons roll
Across the highs and lows
July hot January cold
I pack heavy
Cause I got to be ready
For whatever weather the wind may blow yes
I've learned a lot from the road behind
The brides I've cross
The mountains I've climbed
The interstate signs
Leading me through each state in the back of my mind
But each night when the curtains fall
I take good count of the highway cost and hang my head
I'm getting closer but I ain't there yet
Still busting up this brick on my shoulders
Feels like my troubles set in stone
Sometimes it's hard to carry on
But I have praying hands hanging over
The pillow where I lay my broken head
At the end of the day and they give me healing
And I won’t hang my hammer down
Until they lay me in the ground
Cause I’ll keep singing like its Sunday morning
Lightening my load
Until theses wheel run out of road
Still busting up this brick on my shoulders
When it seems my troubles set in stone
I'll find strength to carry on
But I have praying hands hanging over
The pillow where I lay my broken head
At the end of the day and they give me healing
They give me healing...They give me healing...
Love It!!!You have another BIG fan here in Tallahassee FL.
Awesome man! Your lyrics are alway so tight. Such an inspireation to us up and coming pickers and grinners!
This is a great song, your music has gotten me through a lot. It's getting me through this broken dream. Thanks Corey
Loving this song, i definitely hope its on the acoustic cd. This is my go to music for sure! It all puts me in a good mood and cheers me up, everyone thinks I'm crazy for pretty much only listening to Corey Smith.
This one is very likely to make the cut on my upcoming acoustic album. http://bit.ly/1xdkkfS
Hey Corey I would like to sing this song. What are the chords. If you don't mind. I tried listening to it a few times to get it. But you op a lot of your chords! You got mad skills. Perfect song
When u gonna write some more songs and release a new album again jw Corey ur awesome
thanks so much corey for making music like this. your music always gets me threw shit. love it
I can dig it!
Your drummer said this won't be on your next album!! I hope he is wrong!
Please put this on your next cd!!!!!
Corey, I've seen you 4 times live and I cannot wait to see you again. You are the best in the music industry right now!
Tried finding this on iTunes... But wasn't there.
man i know you get this alot but your music helps me as well alot of people dude you amazing
thank you
Good Job Corey .. Lyrics are Genius
What cd is this song on?
Please put this on your new album! I love this song. I love quotes. There's some lyrics that just hit me right in the core of who I am. "I've got healing hands above my bed..." just hit me. Your emotion in your song-writing brings me to tears of happiness in all your music.
Lyrically it doesn't get any BETTER THAN THIS !!! Corey Smith reaches down into your soul and just pulls the emotions out. Wow.
Good song man
Corey i love your songs im just a very small song writer and singer i sing in a few bar around my town but one day i hope to move people with my songs like you do keep it up and and keep writing from your heat and the people will always listen to you
Every time I think I have my favorite song down, you make another just like this. For a few years it was "harmony" followed by "arc of a rainbow" and then "new day". I have to say, you've done it again. I truly hope you put this on the next album and if not, please release this on iTunes. Like all your songs, I need to share this with everyone I know.
Freaking epic!
First class songwriter. It amazes me the difference between what people call "an amazing well-written song" and the truth behind a true well written song from a songwriter like Corey. God Bless Brother!!!!
That's an amazing song Corey. You have gotten me through major changes in my life, a divorce, and starting over all alone. I seen you in Indy and it was awesome. instead of Hank its Corey Smith ,you wrote my life.
If only you knew how many times I have put this on repeat, along with getting goosebumps every time I hear it. Just another song that has touched my heart that I have shared with so many loved ones. Your music keeps a lot of us going, you're truly amazing. I hope to see this on iTunes or the album soon!
Corey please put this on the Album! Been a fan since day 1. Just as good as anything you've written!
Thank u Corey for giving me healing music to free myself to.always a fan
@Ryan Broshear Thx, man!
This is my favorite yet!!!
@Ryan Eargle Can't wait for you to hear it :)
ridiculous. so good. come on corey release this. you know you should.
Love!!!!!!! PLEASE put it on iTunes!
using up all my data listening to this song in my car. Any chance this song can go to iTunes asap?! no need to record, perfect the way it is ;)
That's what the fuck I'm talking bout right there!! Why fuck yes that song should make the new album. Just like that. Acoustic!
prob needs to be a double album to fit all the goodness into one release

Great tune man! Speaks to me. Tough but beautiful life to be an artist and a songwriter. Feel this way all the time. Hope to catch up with you on the road sometime. Keep bustin' that brick man.
This is one of the many reasons why Corey is my favorite artist out there! No one else gives you access into their music like he does. Awesome song yet again! This one hits home. Can't wait for the new album. Hope this one makes the cut!
That's a good right there! Thanks for sharing!
