He just signed a record deal with the Broken Bow Records Music Group, so his future in country music should be promising. The song’s “ooh-ooh-ooh” hooks are pure ear candy, coupled with the vivid imagery of its lyrics, are all a recipe for a smash hit.
“Barbed wire fence carving out a hillside, cutting holes in the midday sun, Like a postcard framed in a windshield covered in dust,” Smith sings in the opening verse, and instantly immerses his listening audience into the song.
