Davidson’s brother, Charles, caught a Trea Landon Band performance just days after the Claxton, Georgia, native arrived in Nashville in Summer 2015. Intrigued, he took Landon’s music to his brother, who immediately recognized the name. Turns out Davidson still has ears on the ground in Statesboro where he attended Georgia Southern University, and had been hearing about Landon and his band for a few years. Landon built a following on the club scene around his home territory before touring the Southeast extensively, then moving to Nashville at age 21. Landon has built an extensive catalog as a solo songwriter over the last five years and comes to Play It Again with traditional songs with modern lyrical content already proven to be crowd-pleasers. "We are extremely excited to welcome Trea to the Play It Again Publishing family. I definitely see a bright future ahead of him. Trea is the total package bringing a great pen, a great voice and a great personality to the table. Doesn't hurt my feelings either that he hails from the great state of Georgia." - Dallas Davidson

There's That Smile
Trea Landon Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I slammed the door and said I'll see you when I see you
Gotta get up outta here and take a little cool-down drive
Bought a pack of cigarettes just because you hate 'em
Came back to give ya a little piece of my mind

And there's that smile
And there I go
What was I mad about

Man, I don't even know
I say I'm gone
I don't get too far
And just like that
Yeah I'm right back there in your arms
And there's that smile
There's that smile

Next thing you know we're kissin' like we're in a movie
This makin' up will make a man wanna pick a fight
You know just how to drive me both kinds of crazy
Just when I think that I'll stay mad at you all night

And there's that smile
And there I go
What was I mad about
Man, I don't even know
I say I'm gone
I don't get too far
And just like that
Yeah I'm right back there in your arms
And there's that smile
There's that smile

On your pretty face
Takin' my breath away
Forget what I was gonna say
You're way too beautiful, girl

And there's that smile
And there I go
What was I mad about
Man, I don't even know
I say I'm gone
I don't get too far
And just like that
Yeah I'm right back there in your arms
And there's that smile
There's that smile

There's that smile on your pretty face
Takin' my breath away
You're way too beautiful, girl

Yeah, there's that smile
