5 Smiles Away - Enuff Z'Nuff

Tami’s just a little girl

Who loves herself and hates the world

And everyday she takes a pill

To calm her head and keep her still

And hoping the day is gonna come

When she don’t need one

It’s only five smiles away

To the border

The light’ll shine the way

It’s only five smiles away

To be heaven’s daughter

And I hope you find the way

Tami got a job at Redd’s

To buy her food and cigarettes

But when her kitty had to eat

Yeah that would take another feat

Sometimes she cries in her sleep

It’s running so deep

It’s only five smiles away

To the border

I hope you find the way

It’s only five smiles away

To be heaven’s daughter

And I hope you find the way

In this great big world

Can eat you up alive

For a pretty girl

It’s harder to survive

When all the wolves

They stalk you like you’re prey

You’d better find yourself

Or find yourself a new day

May take a little time

To keep the paint inside the lines

There’ll always be a special leap

A pretty smile, a friend to meet, yeah

And when Valentine’s Day didn’t come

There couldn’t be one
