August 15, 2026 ONE OF THESE DAYS - New Version
I wrote these Lyrics in 2015 and tweaked them a little bit for this new version.
Used Suno to help with the music and mix.
.
HIS DADDY WAS A HARD WORKIN' MAN
AND THE TIMES THEY WERE HARD
LIVING ON UNPAVED STREETS
ON THE EAST SIDE OF TUPELO
HIS MAMA WAS THE SPARK OF THE MARRAGE
DROPPING OUT OF SCHOOL AT AN EARLY AGE
SHE TOOK A BACK SEAT TO NO ONE
AND HOW SHE LOVED HER ONLY SON
A DIFFICULT PREGNACY TOOK HIS TWIN BROTHER
THIRTYFIVE MINUTES LATER ELVIS WAS BORN
GOD ONLY KNOWS HOW IT WOULD HAVE BEEN
IF HIS TWIN BROTHER HAD LIVED
ELVIS LOVED THE RADIO STATION'S MUSIC
THEY ALL SAID THAT HE WAS CRAZY ABOUT IT
SLIM AND HIS PASTOR SHOWED HIM SOME CHORDS
THE MUSIC CARRIED HIM TO FARAWAY PLACES
{CHORUS}
ONE OF THESE DAYS, IT'LL BE DIFFERENT
JUST YOU WAIT AND SEE, MAMA
ONE OF THESE DAYS, WE'LL LIVE IN A MANSION
DON'T YOU BELIEVE ME, MAMA
ONE OF THESE DAYS, ONE OF THESE DAYS
HE NEVER LOST SIGHT OF MUSIC FOR A MOMENT
STARTED TAKING HIS GUITAR TO SCHOOL
PLAYING SOME IN THE SCHOOL'S BASEMENT
THE MUSIC WAS DEEP IN HIS SOUL
IT WAS A SUPRISE TO HIS LOVING MAMA
WHEN AT THE YOUNG AGE OF TEN HE SANG
AT THE ANNUAL MISSISSIPPI ALABAMA FAIR
YEARS LATER HE WOULD RETURN TO THAT STAGE
AS ELVIS PRESLEY THE ROCK AND ROLL STAR

{REPEAT CHORUS}

July 18, 2026 Don't Lean your Ladder on the wrong Wall - New Original by Tony
Inspired by all of the SCAMS on SoundCloud and Facebook.
Lyrics & Vocal by Tony
Music & Mix by Suno
IF YOU LEAN YOUR LADDER
ON THE WRONG WALL
IT COULD BE THE BIGEST
MISTAKE OF ALL

SOMETIMES OUR LIFE
IS FILLED WITH STRIFE
CAUSE WE LEAN THE LADDER
ON THE WRONG WALL

{CHORUS}
DON'T LEAN YOUR LADDER
ON THE WRONG WALL
IT COULD MAKE LIFE HARDER
AND CAUSE YOUR DOWNFALL
DON'T LEAN YOUR LADDER
ON THE WRONG WALL

{GUITAR SOLO}

BE VERY CAREFULL
WHO YOU TRUST
THAT BIG DREAM
COULD TURN TO DUST

IF IT'S TOO GOOD
TO BE TRUE
CHECK IT TWICE
WHATEVER YOU DO

{CHORUS}
(GUITAR SOLO)

LEAN YOUR LADDER
ON THE RIGHT WALL
OR YOUR DREAMS
COULD TURN TO DUST

June 14, 2026 BACKSIDE OF LIFE - New Original by Tony
Tony's original lyrics and vocal sound.
Help on the Music & Mix from Suno
HE WAS A CHILD IN THE FIFTIES
BLACK AND WHITE TV'S
AND TRANSISTOR RADIOS
THE BEGINNING OF ROCK AND ROLL
A TEENAGER IN THE SIXTIES
BEACH BOYS AND JAN AND DEAN
HOT ROD'S AND FIRST DATE
GOT MARRIED IN SIXTY EIGHT
{CHORUS}
HE'S ON THE BACKSIDE OF LIFE
AND ON A DOWNHILL SLIDE
ON THE BACKSIDE OF LIFE
MAN, WHAT A RIDE
IN THE EARLY SEVENTIES
UNCLE SAM CAME CALLING
LEAVING A WIFE AND SON BEHIND
TEARS WERE FLOWING
MADE IT TO NAM AND BACK
BUILT A NEW HOUSE
ANOTHER SON WAS BORN
HIS LIFE SURE WAS CHANGING
{REPEAT CHORUS}
HE RETIRED YEARS AGO
TO SPEND SOME TIME
WITH HIS WIFE AND GRANDKIDS
AND TAKE TIME TO UNWIND
STILL LOVES LISTENING TO MUSIC
AND MAKING WORDS RHYMN
TO HIM GOD AND FAMILY
IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING
{REPEAT CHORUS}

May 12, 2026 Orleans - Collaboration by Tony Harris & Mike Fox
Lyrics by Tony Harris
Music, Vocals and mix by Mike Fox
SOME CALL IT A PLACE OF HOPE
SOME CALL IT A PLACE OF DESPAIR
WHERE MUSIC CAN BE HEARD
AND JAZZ IS ALWAYS RIPPLING IN THE AIR
BEING DIFFERENT AND INTERESTING
JAZZ AND BLUES WAS A PERFECT FIT
AND A BIG PART OF IT'S HISTORY
IT'S A CITY THAT LOVES DANCING
CHORUS
NOT EVERYTHING IN ORLEANS IS PRETTY
IF YOU HAVE A CONNECTION TO THE CITY
ORLEANS CAN MOVE YOUR SOUL
LIKE ELVIS AND ROCK AND ROLL
LIKE ELVIS AND ROCK AND ROLL
WHERE DREAMS CAN COME TRUE
ON THE CITIES SIDE WALKS
ONE CAN GO FROM RAGS TO RICHES
IN A CITY FILLED WITH MUSIC VENUES
SOME OF IT'S SONGS WILL NEVER DIE
SUCH AS HOUSE OF THE RISING SUN
AND OL' HANKS JAMBALAYA
IN A CITY THAT THRIVES ON FUN
THE MUSIC CAN MOVE YOUR SOUL
LIKE ELVIS AND ROCK AND ROLL
GUITAR SOLO
CHORUS 2X

April 23, 2026 Decoration Day - New Original by Tony Harris
New Original Lyrics by Tony Harris with help on the mix from Suno.
GROWING UP IN THE SOUTH
THE FIRST SUNDAY IN MAY
SPECIAL TO HIS MOM
IT WAS DECORATION DAY
IT WAS A CHERISHED TRADITION
WHERE FAMILIES CAME TOGETHER
TO DECORATE THE GRAVES
OF THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS
(CHORUS)
IT WAS DECORATION DAY
DOWN IN THE DEEP SOUTH
PEOPLE CAME FROM ALL AROUND
ON THAT SPECIAL DAY IN MAY
TO LAY THEIR FLOWERS DOWN
AFTER VISITING THE CEMETERY
HIS UNCLES, AUNTS AND COUSINS
WOULD ALL MEET AT HIS HOUSE
AND ENJOY SOME GREAT FOOD
AFTER LUNCH SOME WOULD ATTEND
THE ALLDAY SINGING AT THE CHURCH
AND SOME WOULD SIT AND TALK
ABOUT THE ROADS THEY HAD WALKED
(REPEAT CHORUS)
AS A KID HE DIDN'T UNDERSTAND
WHY THE FIRST SUNDAY IN MAY
WAS A SPECIAL DAY TO HIS MOM
(REPEAT CHORUS)

March 24, 2026 It's Not A Fairy Tale - New Version
New version of a song that I wrote in 2018 with help on the mix from Suno.
Decided to release for Easter. Lyrics are listed below.
YOU MAY NOT BELIEVE IN HEAVEN
OR THE FATHER AND THE SON
YOU MAY THINK IT'S A FAIRY TALE
AND A CROWN CAN'T BE WON
YOU MAY NOT BELIEVE THAT JESUS
WAS RAISED FROM THE DEAD
WALKED ON THE WATER
LIKE THE BIBLE SAID
(CHORUS)
HE BELIEVES IN HEAVEN
THE FATHER AND THE SON
THAT IT'S NOT A FAIRY TALE
A CROWN CAN BE WON
A CROWN CAN BE WON
DON'T PUT HIM DOWN
FOR WHAT HE BELIEVES
FOR HE WAS ONCE LOST
AND NOW HE'S FOUND
IF HE'S WRONG
WHAT HAS HE LOST
IF HE IS RIGHT
HE'S GAINED EVERYTHING
HE BELIVES IN HEAVEN
THE FATHER AND THE SON
THAT IT'S NOT A FAIRY TALE
A CROWN CAN BE WON
HE BELIVES IN HEAVEN
THE FATHER AND THE SON
THAT IT'S NOT A FAIRY TALE
A CROWN CAN BE WON
A CROWN CAN BE WON
A CROWN CAN BE WON

February 20, 2026 Old Deep Well - Original Lyrics by Tony Harris
A short little country song about an old deep well that is no longer being used. Hope you enjoy the Country mix with help from Suno.
AFTER A SNOW STORM
MOVED ACROSS
THE NORTHWEST CORNER
OF OUR BEAUTIFUL STATE
SOME LOST POWER
AND SOME LOST WATER
WE STILL HAD POWER
BUT WE HAD NOT WATER
AFTER OUR SUPPLY WAS SEVERED
I SUDDENLY REMEMBER
THE OLD DEEP WELL ON THE PROPERTY
THAT ALWAYS HAD PLENTY
MADE MY WAY ACROSS THE SNOW
TO THAT OLD DEEP WELL
FLIPPED THE SWITCH
FRESH WATER BEGAN TO FLOW
(CHORUS)
WE ALL TAKE THINGS FOR GRANTED
UNTIL THE DAY WE LOSE THEM
AND WE'RE DISAPPOINTED
WHEN WE NOT LONGER HAVE THEM
SOMETIMES THINGS FROM THE PAST
ARE THE ONLY THINGS THAT LAST
(GUITAR SOLO)
(REPEAT CHORUS)

January 24, 2026 MEMORIES - Original with lyrics by Tony Harris
I wrote the first two verses of this song a few years ago and decided to finish it in 2026. Hope you enjoy the mix with Suno. The lyrics are listed below.
MEMORIES CAN FLOOD YOUR SOUL
AND SOME CAN TAKE A TOLL
WAKE YOU UP AT NIGHT
CAUSE YOU TO GIVE UP THE FIGHT
THEY CAN BRING YOU HAPPINESS
AND BRING YOU GLADNESS
TAKE YOU TO A FAR AWAY PLACE
AND PUT A SMILE ON YOUR FACE
(CHORUS)
DON'T LET THE MEMORIES
TAKE YOU DOWN A DARK ROAD
LIVE IN THE FUTURE
TAKE THE HAPPY ROAD
IF THE ROAD TAKES YOU TO A SAD PLACE
THEY WILL ROLL DOWN YOUR FACE
DON'T LET THE MEMORIES
ROLL DOWN YOUR FACE
THIS OLD WORLD CAN MAKE YOU SAD
PRAY THAT THE GOOD OUT WEIGHTS THE BAD
IF YOU CREATE GOOD MEMORIES
LIFE CAN BE FILLED WITH BLESSINGS
TRUST THE MAN THAT WALKED ON WATER
THE MAN THAT HAS THE SCARS
HE WILL SHOW YOU THE RIGHT WAY
HIS DADDY HUNG THE MOON AND STARS
(REPEAT CHORUS 2 TIMES)

January 01, 2026 Time Just Eats You Up - (New Version)
New version of a song with help from Suno that I wrote in 2021 about how fast time goes by.
TIME JUST EATS YOU UP
IT'S EVERY BOY'S DREAM
TO GET HIS DRIVERS LISCENSE
THE DAY HE TURNS SIXTEEN
TIME JUST EATS YOU UP
FINISHING GRADE SCHOOL
IS A LONG TIME COMIN'
WE ALL NEED THOSE TOOLS
TIME JUST EATS YOU UP
SOME ATTEND COLLEGE
SOME JOIN THE WORK FORCE
AT A VERY YOUNG AGE
TIME JUST EATS YOU UP
(CHORUS)
TIME JUST EATS YOU UP
NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT THAT
IT'LL ALWAYS WIN
NOBODY'S THAT FAST
NOBODY'S THAT FAST
CAN'T WAIT TO GET MARRIED
WHEN YOU MEET THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE
LEAVING PARENTS WORRIED
TIME JUST EATS YOU UP
CAN'T WAIT TO HAVE KIDS
NOT ALL FUN AND GAMES
CAN'T WAIT FOR GRANDKIDS
TIME JUST EATS YOU UP
TIME KEEPS SLIPPIN' AWAY
LIVING IN THE FAST LANE
TURNS YOUR HAIR GREY
TIME JUST EATS YOU UP
(REPEAT CHORUS)
WE NEVER TAKE THE TIME
TO SMELL THE ROSES
STOP AND UNWIND
CAUSE, TIME JUST EATS YOU UP
