March 26, 2024 The Country Life Was Callin' - Collaboration by Tony and Mike Fox - Original
Lyrics by Tony Harris US (listed below)
Vocals, Melody, Music and Mix by Mike Fox UK
GROWING UP IN THE COUNTRY
MUSIC WAS A SWEET MEMORY
WENT TO HIGH SCHOOL IN THE CITY
NEVER TOOK THE TIME TO PARTY
STUDIED HARD IN HIGH SCHOOL
NEVER ANYBODY'S FOOL
MADE GOOD GRADES IN COLLEGE
FILLED HIS HEAD WITH KNOWLEDGE
GRADUATED COLLEGE WITH A DEGREE
TOOK A JOB IN NASHVILLE TENNESSEE
CLIMBIN' THE CORPORATE LADDER
TO HIM..IT WASEN'T THE ANSWER
HE WAS PROUD OF HIS EDUCATION
THE CORPORATE LIFE TAKES DEDICATION
DIDN'T WANT A LIFE FILLED WITH STRIFE
DECIDED TO ABORT THAT KIND OF LIFE
(CHORUS)
PULLED HIS GUITAR OUT OF IT'S CASE
PLAYED SWEET HOME ALABAMA
FOLLOWED BY AMAZING GRACE
THE COUNTRY LIFE WAS CALLIN'
DECIDED TO LEAVE THE RAT RACE
CAUSE, THE COUNTRY LIFE WAS CALLIN'
(GUITAR SOLO)
HE PUT A COUNTRY BAND TOGETHER
NASHVILLE WAS THE PERFECT THEATER
SINGER SONGWRITERS WERE EVERYWHERE
MAY HAVE BEEN CRAZY BUT HE DIDN'T CARE
IT ALL CAME TOGETHER VERY FAST
STARTED PLAYIN' IN THE SOUTH FIRST
WAS GETTING BACK TO HIS COUNTRY ROOTS
AND WEARING HIS WESTERN BOOTS
SOON THEY WERE PLAYIN' THE RIGHT SONGS
AND THE RIGHT CHORDS AT THE RIGHT TIME
HAD A BAND THAT HE COULD TRUST
AND PURCHASED A BRAND NEW BUS
(REPEAT CHORUS 2 TIMES OPTIONAL)

March 13, 2024 God And Family - Collaboration by Tony & Chuck Aaron - Original
Lyrics by Tony Harris
Vocal, music and mix by Chuck Aaron (New version by Chuck)
WE DON'T KNEEL WHEN THE FLAG IS BEING RAISED
WE DON'T WANT OUR FREEDOM TAKEN AWAY
WE DON'T BURN AND LOOT DOWN ON MAIN STREET
WE LOVE OUR COUNTRY CAN'T YOU SEE
WE DON'T LIKE WHERE THE COUNTRY IS GOIN'
WE LIKE IT THE WAY IT USED TO BE
THE MUSIC BROUGHT US ALL TOGETHER
WHY CAN'T IT BE LIKE IT USED TO BE
(CHORUS)
AND I'M PROUD TO LIVE IN THIS COUNTRY
A PLACE WHERE ANYONE CAN HAVE IT ALL
YOU'LL FIND US AT CHURCH ON SUNDAY
AND GOD AND FAMILY IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING OF ALL
BOOTS ON THE GROUND ARE NEVER POPULAR
WE DO WHAT WE HAVE TO DO TO KEEP US FREE
WE HAVE TO PROTECT THE HOMELAND
I THINK MOST PEOPLE WILL AGREE
AND GOD AND FAMILY IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING OF ALL
(REPEAT CHORUS 2 TIMES)

March 03, 2024 The Music Died Today - Collaboration by Tony and Mike Fox - Original with Lyrics
Lyrics by Tony Harris that inspired Mike listed below.
Vocals, Music and Mix by Mike Fox UK
IT WAS A SAD DAY TODAY
IN OUR SMALL TOWN
THE RADIO STATION
IT CLOSED DOWN
FOUNDED IN NINETEEN FIFTY
AND A LOCAL LANDMARK
PLAYED ALL KINDS OF MUSIC
WAS SPECIAL TO OUR HEART
(CHORUS)
THE MUSIC DIED TODAY
IN OUR HOME TOWN
THEY FLIPPED THE SWITCH
AND IT FADED AWAY
YOU CAN BLAME IT ON THIS
YOU CAN BLAME IT ON THAT
WHAT MORE CAN YOU SAY
THE MUSIC DIED TODAY
THE DEJAY'S WERE THE BEST
ALWAYS TAKING REQUEST
THE SONGS WERE ALWAYS PLAYIN'
AND VERY SATISFYIN'
TEARS FLOWED FREELY THAT DAY
AS AMERICAN PIE WAS PLAYED
AFTER SIXTY SEVEN YEARS
WHY WAS THAT CALL MADE
(REPEAT CHORUS)
THE RED BRICK BUILDIN'
NO LONGER STANDS
THE RECORDS WERE SOLD
THEY WASHED THEIR HANDS
(REPEAT CHORUS 2 times)

February 21, 2024 Don't Look In The Looking Glass - Collaboration by Tony & Mike Fox - Original with lyrics
Lyrics below by Tony Harris - US
Melody, Vocals, Music & Mix by Mike Fox - UK
WHEN HE LOOKED IN THE MIRROW
ALL HE COULD SEE WAS SORROW
THE YEARS HAD TAKEN A TOLL
ON THIS MANS LONELY SOUL
THE YEARS HAD PASSED HIM BY
NOW HE WAS WANDERING WHY
HE NEVER STOPPED TO SMELL THE ROSES
AND MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICES
(CHORUS)
DON'T LOOK IN THE LOOKING GLASS
YOU MAY NOT LIKE WHAT YOU SEE
DON'T LOOK IN THE LOOKING GLASS
HE MAY LOOK JUST LIKE YOU AND ME
HE NEVER SPENT TIME WITH FAMILY
ONLY VISITING THEM OCCASIONALLY
ALWAYS MOVING FROM TOWN TO TOWN
WHEN NEEDED HE WAS NEVER AROUND
THE GRASS WAS ALWAYS GREENER
ALWAYS CONSIDERED A LONER
AND WHEN HE FOUND THE OTHERSIDE
HE NEVER SEEMED TO BE SATISFIED
(REPEAT CHORUS)
HIS BODY WAS LAID TO REST
UNDER THE BIG SKY OUT WEST
THE BURIAL PLACE IS UNKNOWN
SAD TO THINK THAT HE DIED ALL ALONE
(REPEAT CHORUS)

January 29, 2024 Ups and Downs - Collab by Tony and Glenny G's One Man Band - Original
Lyrics by Tony Harris
Vocals, Music & Mix by Glen Granthem
Poem that inspired Glen is listed below.
WOKE UP THIS MORNIN'
THE SNOW WAS FALLIN'
ICE WAS ON THE WINDOW
CHILL FACTOR WAS TEN BELOW

I HAVE NOWHERE TO GO
WHY WORRY ABOUT THE SNOW
HAD A GOOD NIGHT'S REST
I KNOW I'VE BEEN BLESSED

(CHORUS)
AS I LOOK AT THE SNOW ON THE LAWN
ANOTHER YEAR HAS COME AND GONE
WE ALL HAVE SOME UPS AND DOWNS
AS THE WORLD GOES ROUND

I HAVE A ROOF OVER MY HEAD
AND A WARM COZY BED
SHOES ON MY FEET
AND PLENTY TO EAT

LIFE IS VERY SHORT, MY FRIEND
WE NEED TO ENJOY IT TO THE END
GIVE SOMEONE A HELPIN' HAND
YOU WILL BE BLESSED, IN THE END

(REPEAT CHORUS)

September 20, 2023 Silver and Gold - Collab by Tony and Glenny G's One Man Band - Original
Lyrics by Tony Harris & Glen Granthem
Vocals, Music & Mix by Glen Granthem
In times of old the men would travel west
Searching for silver and gold with little sleep or rest
The lack of housing, It was back breaking work
Living underground digging in the dirt
(Chorus)
Searching for silver and gold
Few got rich in those days of old
Searching for silver and gold
To end up dead and buried in a hole
The lack of law and order The mini camps took lots of lives
From the East and the South They gambled with their life
In all the wrong places they searched for silver and gold
Covered wagons on horse back clipper ships strong and bold.
(Repeat Chorus)
(Guitar Solo)
(Repeat Chorus)

July 17, 2023 I-65 Blues - Collab by Tony and Riff Beach - Original
Lyrics by Tony Harris
Vocal, music and mix by Riff Beach

WE TOOK A ROAD TRIP
DOWN TO THE COAST
SOME GOOD FELLOWSHIP
AND A LONG TIME COMMIN'
WE WERE MAKIN' IT JUST FINE
AND ROLLIN' RIGHT ALONG
WITH THE BEACH ON OUR MIND
WE WERE SINGIN' A SONG
WE CAME TO A DEAD STOP
IT WAS BUMPER TO BUMPER
ON NEWLY PAVED BLACKTOP
MAN, WHAT A KICKER
(CHORUS)
LORD, WE HAD THE I-65 BLUES
NO TRAFFIC JAM IN OUR PLANS
COULD ONLY SEE BRAKE LIGHTS
WE HAD THE I-65 BLUES
MINUTES FELT LIKE HOURS
AS TIME WENT SLOWLY BY
NEVER SAW SO MANY SUV'S
MADE US WANT A CRY
AFTER A WRECK WAS CLEARED
THE TRAFFIC STARTED TO MOVE
AND EVERYONE CHEERED
WE WERE BACK IN THE GROOVE
(REPEAT CHORUS)
I-65 BLUES, I-65 BLUES, I-65 BLUES
