about

We've all had a day we don't want to have to face and we would just rather stay in bed.
Look out for the hidden track that ends the album...

lyrics

TODAY I MADE THE BIGGEST EFFORT TO SMILE
By
Blaine Campbell

I laid in bed and thought for a while
And today I made the biggest effort to smile
Pull the sheet back over my head
Raising a family I’ll make you a home in the country.
I tried to play it cool but that’s not my style
And today I made the biggest effort to smile
Pull the sheet back over my head
Raising a family I’ll make you a home in the country
Raising a family I’ll make you a home in the country.
