Dwayne Romel Smith (born 12 April 1983) is a cricketer who has represented the West Indies. The (part-time) all-rounder, he is known as an aggressive and powerful right-handed batsman, bowls medium pace, and is also an athletic fielder. Smith has played for Barbados since the start of his career but has also played three seasons for Sussex from 2008–10. He has become a sought-after Twenty20 player, making appearances in the Indian Premier League, for the Chennai Super Kings Mumbai Indians and the Deccan Chargers, and for New South Wales in the Australian domestic competition and for the Bangladesh Premier League in Khulna Royal Bengals .
Smith made his first-class debut for Barbados in January 2002 in a Busta Cup match against Guyana. He did not bowl in the match but made scores of 10 and 35, his second innings ended after he was out hit wicket, an unusual form of dismissal. In his fifth match of the season, against the Leeward Islands, there were two notable occasions for Smith; he took his first wicket and, with an innings of 102, scored his first century. He finished the season with a batting average of 21.36.
Married to the road
There's no other way to say it.
Baby found out
Quite early in the game.
If I belong to my songs
She chose not to play it.
Now I walk down the street
And I hear them call my name.
Chorus:
Tunesmith, tunesmith
Sing me a song.
Give me your laughter
Give me your tears.
Tunesmith, tunesmith
Sing me a song.
But who sings a song for the tunesmith?
Who sings a song for the tunesmith?
She could have changed my mind
If anyone could do it
That's why I know
I'll always be this way.
And now I've got fame
I find there's nothing to it.
I remember how I loved her
When I hear the people say.
Repeat chorus
This hotel room is all I own
Now that all my friends are gone.
All alone at the break of day
I can still hear them say.
