Corey Smith - I'm Not Gonna Cry (For the Class of 2020)

Ok, Class of 2020, this one’s for you. Though Covid has robbed you of a great rite of passage, and all its traditional pomp and circumstance, you have met it with high spirits and good humor and been a source of inspiration for us all. In your honor, I’ve remade an old tune of mine, and thanks to all the submissions from the fans, put together a little video for you. Enjoy “I’m Not Gonna Cry (2020). CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Official Lyrics:
Sunday Shoes, Cap and Gown
The whole town gathered around
Waited 18 years now it's all comin down to this.
I scanned the crowd and it fills my soul
My best friends all here in rows
No turning back, Now its time to walk that line
This tassel is gonna turn
But when the moment passes by
We'll just walk away
Then slowly grow apart
But I'm not gonna cry, no
Not one sad or happy tear
I've waited my whole life
Now I'm gonna fly right outta here
It's a bittersweet goodbye, but I'm not gonna cry
Friday night, football games,
First loves and first heartbreaks,
It didnt matter who won or lost,
Only how we played,
Memories as good as gold,
Tearin' up those mountain roads,
Never running from the cops
But looking to avoid the law
Sure we made a little trouble,
But learned from every mistake,
So theres no regret,
We've done the best we could
So im not gonna cry, no
Not one sad or happy tear
Ive waited my whole life
Now im gonna fly right outta here
These have been the best years of my life
So im not gonna cry
Its been a lonely, winding journey
And we've lost a few along the way
Still we've hung in there through the tribulations
Now its time to celebrate
Its our graduation day
So im not gonna cry
Not one sad or happy tear
Ive waited my whole life
So im gonna fly right outta here
This has been the best day of my life, so im not gonna cry
Its a bittersweet goodbye, im not gonna cry

😢❤️💔❤️💔 my heart breaks for the class of 2020. Awesome tribute bro... words can’t describe how much we need your live performances back in our life!!! I have been Trying to get you to come play in Greenwood, SC for a small group of friends. My boyfriend loves you. He has been to so many concerts and may have been kicked out of a few 😂😂🍺🍻😂... I want sooo badly to surprise him. He is the one who made me fall in love with your music. He makes everyone listen to your songs. He plays Corey Smith radio at work over the loud speaker for his customers. You have no idea!!! You are truly the best and so raw and real. You are the absolute best artist in our eyes, by far!!! He broke the mold with you man!!

I have always played this song for my kids graduation. This year is my last babies graduation. This song means so much, especially this year. Thank you so much doing this for the class of 2020!!! We will celebrate our babies one we can!!!

Graduation is one of the most emotional times of your life... it’s another milestone everyone passes to get to adulthood... it’s emotional cause your basically giving up your time as a teenager and then goin on to be a adult. I graduated back in 2019 and I ain’t heard from most of my classmates since then. It’s funny how some of the people you had a close bond with just disappears and drops you after graduation... that’s how it was with me anyways.. great song Corey!!! It’s a real tear-getter

[@nicegurl408]

Damn. My sister spent her WHOLE senior year in Distance Learning. Class of 2021 had it worse than 2020. :(

[@CGtlh]

Played this song for my crew on a beach trip the year we graduated. Almost got beat up by everybody because everyone was crying by the end lol That’s when you know how great the song is.
