After receiving overwhelming demand and response to the “The True South”, Big Smo knew he had found his calling. Looking to expand on his already growing musical career, Big Smo stepped back into the studio with good friend and partner DJ ORIG and industry veteran Jon Conner to refine his sound and develop new artists in the recording facility he had custom built on the ranch.
Soon Big Smo Discovered his love and passion for film production and embarked on learning a new skill set. Hard work and dedication to his new found talent helped to complete several music videos and short films. Before long Big Smo was completing productions for popular Tennessee artists. After touring as an opener with several regional and national acts , Big Smo decided to go back and re-evaluate his musical direction. As a result of many years of growing and learning Big Smo joined forces with industry executive Dan Neslson in early 2010 to form
BIG SMO INC. The company’s first release was a brand new Big Smo studio album, appropriately titled “American Made”. Songs like “My Life In A Jar” , “Old Dirt Road” and “Kickin It In Tennessee” send the listener on a thrill ride through the country in an old Ford with no brakes. Guest appearances by many of Nashville’s underground heros and studio musicians added incredable flavor to an already infectious slab of musical delight.
Big Smo’s popularity began to rise throughout the nation catapulting him into a never ending tour of shows including the Mud Bog and Trail Riding circuit in states like Florida , Georgia , Alabama , Tennessee and Texas. Soon opportunities to work with companies like TRUCKS GONE WILD and LIZARD LICK TOWING AND RECOVERYcame about. In order to feed the frenzie off his loyal and growing fan base , Big Smo released the long awaited prequel to his latest album “Grass Roots” with a select collection of cuts as an EP. With the drive and determination to please his supporters , Big Smo tirelessly works to do whatever it takes to put on a performance that is unforgettable.There is no show too big or small, public or private, for him to do. You can expect the same energy and mind blowing experiance anywhere you see him on stage.
One puplication stated: “If Kid Rock and Run D.M.C. had a love child , he would be named Big Smo.”
Anything Goes
Big Smo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Got a whole lot of shine, a lil' somethin′ to smoke
Bonfire so high, you could see it from the road
Got somethin' real fine, tryin' to pull her real close
It′s just one of them nights, where anything goes
Got a whole lot of shine, a lil′ somethin' to smoke
Bonfire so high, you could see it from the road
Got somethin′ real fine, tryin' to pull her real close
It′s just one of them nights, after one of those days
Pushing through a double shift 'cause I gots to get paid
I′ma take it to the crib, maybe catch a warm plate
'Ol' lady hot and heavy and I know she wanna play
But my cell phones buggin′
My crew′s on a mission for the back road business
Hold a gal and poured a sip and fire up the ol' Chevy stick of pine
In the wind, dirt, dirt road swerving tryin′ to catch my third bin
Bonfire meetin', cash for the cab
Blue flame whiskey on that homegrown pine
Load a couple cases, make a toast to our kids
Kept us here going since way back when
Now running wide open on a full moon night
Chasing this paper, tryin′ to get my life right
Keg party waitin' for the man of the hour
Midnight shift for the money and the power
It′s just one of them nights, where anything goes
Got a whole lot of shine, a lil' somethin' to smoke
Bonfire so high, you could see it from the road
Got somethin′ real fine, tryin′ to pull her real close
It's just one of them nights, where anything goes
Got a whole lot of shine, a li′l somethin' to smoke
Bonfire so high, you could see it from the road
Got somethin′ real fine, tryin' to pull her real close
Uh, big bottle of whiskey, fresh on all that pine
Got somethin′ real fine, spendin' some quality time
Tryin' unwind at a bonfire, it′s so high
You could see it for miles, it′s just one of them nights
Where anything goes, It ain't nothin′ off limits
We livin' like this might be our last night of living
Mixin′ pleasure and business, make drop poppin' tops
All mason jars full of, this season′s best crops
We party til we drop, wake up party to'morrow
Ain't no reason to go, if you ain′t going hard
If anyone deserves a celebration, it′d be us
Been workin' so hard, for the last nine months
Studio to the bus, from the bus to the stage
Back to the bus, wake up next day the same thing
Then it′s back to the kitchen, cookin' up somethin′ delicious
One-eighty proof and them switches
It's just one of them nights, where anything goes
Got a whole lot of shine, a lil somethin′ to smoke
Bonfire so high, you could see it from the road
Got somethin' real fine, tryin' to pull her real close
Yeah, this is for them late night country boys pushin′ for the paper
Sun up to sun down, take it straight with no chaser
The dirt road racers, bonfire kings
Boss of the sticks, with an outlaw regime
Jug of white whiskey and some fresh cut crop
That′s how you push it to the limit when the party don't stop
Them southern gals love it, said "we′re down for fight"
Cause you know anything can happen on a bonfire night
It's just one of them nights, where anything goes
Got a whole lot of shine, a lil′ somethin' to smoke
Bonfire so high, you could see it from the road
Got somethin′ real fine, tryin' to pull her real close
It's just one of them nights, where anything goes
Got a whole lot of shine, a lil′ somethin′ to smoke
Bonfire so high, you could see it from the road
Got somethin' real fine, tryin′ to pull her real close
