Smog Picture
Bill Callahan, born in Silver Spring, Maryland. Callahan pioneered the lo-figenre of underground rock, with homemade tape-albums recorded on four track tape recorders. Later he signed a record contract with the label drag city. Callahan started out as a highly experimentalartist, utilizing sub-standard instruments and recording equipment. His reason for using the lo-fi approach was not so much an aesthetic choice, rather it came from his lack of knowledge of recording studios, and fear of giving up control to professional engineers.

Hit The Ground Running Lyrics

Smog

I had to leave the country
Though there was some nice folks there
Now I dont know where Im going
All I know is Ill hit the ground running
Only cowboys
The southern gentlemen
Betting women
That will never mend
They ride the roads as they bend
As they bend to there dead ends
I had to leave the country
Though there was some nice folks there
And now I dont know where Im going
All I know is that Ill hit the ground running
I was raised in a pit of snakes
Blink your eyes I was raised on cakes
I couldnt memorize a century of slang
Or learn to tell the same story again again and again
I had to leave the country
Though there was some nice folks there
Now I dont know where Im going
All I know is Ill hit the ground running
Bitterness is a lowest sin
A bitter man rots from within
Ive seen his smile
Yellow and brown
The bitterness is rotting down
I had to leave the country
Though there was some nice folks there
Now I dont know where Im going
All I know to do is hit the ground running
Hit the ground running
