June 07, 2017 The Music Died Today - Very raw Original recording by Tony
Tammy Wynette and Sonny James started their careers at this little Radio Station back in the day.
Lyrics and very raw vocal & guitar recording by Tony.
THE MUSIC DIED TODAY
IT WAS A SAD DAY TODAY
IN OUR SMALL TOWN
THE RADIO STATION
IT CLOSED DOWN
FOUNDED IN FIFTY
A LOCAL LANDMARK
PLAYED LOTS OF MUSIC
SPECIAL PLACE IN MY HEART
CHORUS
THE MUSIC DIED TODAY
IN MY HOMETOWN
THEY FLIPPED THE SWITCH
AND IT WENT AWAY
YOU CAN BLAME IT ON THIS
YOU CAN BLAME IT ON THAT
WHAT MORE CAN I SAY
THE MUSIC DIED TODAY
WHAT MORE CAN I SAY
THE MUSIC DIED TODAY
NO MORE REQUESTS
MEMORIES TO BE MADE
THOSE DAY'S ARE GONE
DEJAY'S WERE THE BEST
TEARS FLOWED FREELY
AS AMERICAN PIE PLAYED
AFTER SIXTY SEVEN YEARS
WHY WAS THE CALL MADE
(REPEAT CHORUS)

Vocals by DLynn & PJ Projects
Music by Eddie Harrison
Lyrics by Tony Harris
I WISH I COULD GO BACK
TO THAT SUGAR SHACK
HE WAS THE SWEETEST THING
THAT I'D EVER SEEN

FIRST TIME I SAW HIM
SO SLIM AND TRIM
WALKING DOWN THE HALL
GIRLS, WHAT A DOLL
CHORUS
BACK TO THE SIXTIES
I WISH I COULD GO
ELVIS AND THE BEATLES
DON'T YOU KNOW
DON'T YOU KNOW
YEA…ELVIS AND THE BEATLES
DON'T YOU KNOW
DON'T YOU KNOW

I KNOW I CAN'T GO BACK
TO THAT SUGAR SHACK
THAT HANSOME BOY
IS ONLY A DREAM

THE ROCK AND ROLLERS
MADE US GIRLS SCREAM
THE MUSIC WAS GREAT
ENJOY IT..IT'S NOT TOO LATE
NOT TOO LATE

(REPEAT CHORUS 2 TIMES)

I WISH I COULD GO BACK
TO THAT SUGAR SHACK
TO THE SIXTIES

March 14, 2017 When He Left Arizona - Lyrics by Tony - Vocal/Music/Mix by Riff Beach - Original
WHEN HE LEFT ARIZONA ©
Original Lyrics - Tony’s Lyrics - Tony Harris
Music, Instruments, Vocals, Production/Mix - Riff Beach
RAIN DROPS WERE DANCING ON THE HOOD
OF HIS OLD FIFTY FIVE CHEVY
STEAM ROSE FROM THE ASPHALT
AS HE DROVE ONTO HIGHWAY FORTY
WHEN HE TURNED THE WIPERS ON
HIS MIND WENT BACK IN TIME
TO THE GOOD TIMES AND HOME
HE'D BEEN GONE FAR TOO LONG
HIS DADDY HAD CALLED THAT MORNING
“SON, YOU BETTER COME HOME FAST
YOUR MOM'S LIFE MAY BE ENDING
I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG SHE'LL LAST
HE HADN'T BEEN HOME IN A LONG TIME
FELT GUILTY AS THE RAIN KEPT FALLING
AS HE PRAYED FOR SUNSHINE
THAT OLD CHEVY'S WIPERS WERE FLAPPING
THE RAIN DROPS WERE STILL DANCING
ON THE HOOD WHEN HE STOPPED AT A CAFE
POURED HIS HEART OUT TO THE WAITRESS
TEARS WERE FALLING AS HE DROVE AWAY
THE GUILT WAS KILLING HIM
HOPED HE WOULD MAKE IT HOME
BEFORE SHE PASSED AWAY
WHY DID HE LEAVE HIS MOM ALONE?
CHORUS
WHEN HE LEFT ARIZONA
THE RAIN WAS POURING DOWN
WHEN HE LEFT ARIZONA
(WELL)….HE WAS ALABAMA BOUND
WHEN HE LEFT ARIZONA
HE KNEW IT WAS TIME…………….
(YEAH), WHEN HE LEFT ARIZONA
HE KNEW IT WAS TIME…
WHEN HE PULLED IN THE DRIVEWAY
A MAN WAS STANDING ON THE PORCH
HE DIDN'T RECOGNIZE HIM AT FIRST
HIS DADDY'S HAIR HAD TURNED GREY
HE HUGGED HIM AND RAN INSIDE
HEADED STRAIGHT FOR HER BEDROOM
SHE GREETED HIM WITH A BIG SMILE
A SMILE THAT WAS WORTH THE LONG RIDE
AND, OVERNIGHT HIS MOM'S HEALTH IMPROVED
WELL, THE DOC COULDN'T BELIEVE IT
HER SON WAS THE BEST MEDICINE
THAT SHE COULD HAVE EVER BEEN GIVEN
(REPEAT CHORUS)

March 14, 2017 Haggard Is Gone - Lyrics by Tony Harris - Vocal & Music by Phillip Clarkson - Original
Original Lyrics by Tony Harris 2017
Vocal & Music Production/Mix by Phillip Clarkson
Tribute to Merle Haggard R.I.P.
HE PULLED US INTO HIS WORLD
AND LET THE MUSIC UNFOLD
HOOKED US FROM THE START
IT WAS WAY DOWN IN HIS SOUL

WHEN IT COMES TO COUNTRY
YOUR IN IT OR YOU AIN'T
HAGGARD WAS IN IT
PLAYED FROM CAN TO CAN'T

CHORUS
MERLE SANG ABOUT LIFE
THE GOOD TIMES AND BAD
HEART AKES AND STRIFE
COULD MAKE UM' RHYMN..MAKE UM' SAD
HAGGARD IS GONE
YEA, THE HAG IS GONE
HIS MUSIC LIVES ON
YEA, HIS MUSIC LIVES ON

PEOPLE CAME FROM ALL AROUND
TO HEAR THAT BAKERSFIELD SOUND
MADE THAT TELECASTER TWANG
WE LISTENED WHEN HE SANG

MERLE TRAVELED FAR AND NEAR
TO SING HIS COUNTRY SONGS
IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE HE'S GONE
HIS MUSIC WILL ALWAYS LIVE ON

(REPEAT CHORUS 2 times)

NO NEW SONGS ABOUT KERN RIVER
HE WILL NOT BE FORGOTTEN…NO, NEVER

Lyrics, vocal and guitar by Tony
CHORUS
HE'S ON THE BACKSIDE OF SIXTY
ON A DOWNHILL SLIDE
ON THE BACKSIDE OF SIXTY
MAN WHAT A RIDE
ON THE BACKSIDE OF SIXTY
CALLS BAMA HIS HOME
ON THE BACKSIDE OF SIXTY
HE'S NEVER BEEN ALONE

HE WAS A CHILD IN THE FIFTIES
BLACK AND WHITE TV'S,
PARTY LINES AND RADIOS
BEGINNING OF ROCK AND ROLL

A TEENAGER IN THE SIXTIES
GREAT MUSIC AND GOOD TIMES
HOT ROD'S AND FIRST DATE
MARRIED HIS SWEETHEART IN SIXTY EIGHT

(RPEAT CHORUS)

IT WAS IN THE SEVENTIES
THAT UNCLE SAM CAME CALLIN
WITH A TWO MONTH OLD SON
THEM TEARS SURE WERE FLOWING

WELL HE MADE IT BACK HOME OK
ANOTHER SON WAS BORN
THE EIGHTIES AND NINETIES
WERE FILLED WITH KIDS AND LIFE

(REPEAT CHORUS)

January 27, 2017 Pepper Town - Lyrics by Tony - Vocals by DLynn - Music by PJ Projects
Original Lyrics by Tony Harris
Vocal / Harmony and Mix by DLynn
Music Production by PJ Projects
SHE GREW UP IN A VERY SMALL HOUSE
IN A LITTLE TOWN CALLED PEPPER TOWN
HER MAMA WORKED AT THE LOCAL COFFEE HOUSE
HER DADDY'S FACTORY WAS SHUTTING DOWN

YES, TIMES WERE HARD IN PEPPER TOWN
JOBS WERE FEW AND FAR BETWEEN
HE DIDN'T LET IT GET HIM DOWN
HIS FAITH WAS ON THINGS UNSEEN

CHORUS
PEPPER TOWN SEEMS SO FAR AWAY NOW
SHE'S GOING BACK SOME DAY SOME HOW
THE MEMORIES STILL LIVE ON
PEPPER TOWN WILL ALWAYS BE HOME
YEA, PEPPER TOWN WILL ALWAYS BE HOME

THEY ALWAYS HAD PLENTY TO EAT
AND A ROOF OVER THEIR HEAD
ALWAYS A WARM PLACE TO SLEEP
JUST COULDN’T GET AHEAD

SAID I'M LEAVING THIS PLACE SOMEDAY
NOTHING FOR ME IN THIS SMALL TOWN
SHE PACKED HER BAGS HEADED TO LA
SHE WAS CALIFORNIA BOUND

(REPEAT CHORUS)

THE STARS DON'T ALWAYS ALIGN
NOT EVERY STAR IS LIT
THE SUN DOESN'T ALWAYS SHINE
NOT EVERYONE MAKES IT
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
IS FULL OF DRAMA
ONLY WAY TO FIND GOLD
IS TO SELL YOUR SOUL

(REPEAT CHORUS)
