March 13, 2019 Antiquities In Tupelo - Lyrics by Tony Harris - Featuring Riff Beach - Original
Antiquities in Tupelo ©
2019 LYRICS BY Tony Harris (BMI)
(with some tweaks by Riff)
Music/Vocal/Mix by Riff Beach
The cover art is the Painting hanging in the Shop
Walking into an Antique Store
On a cold Winter's day
I noticed a painting…...
That I hadn't seen before
With a Guitar in the Center
Well, my mind, it went back in time
To when Elvis lived here
Such a fine picture
Strollin' through the shop
Well, he was on my mind
Yeah, Tupelo….
That's where he learned to play
On an old flat top
(Chorus)
We were Antiquin' in Tupelo
What a fun thing to do
Antiquin' in Tupelo
On a cold Winter's day
Let your mind relax….and float away
Down in Tupelo
On a cold Winter's day
And you know, all his Daddy could afford
Was a two-room house
But, it kept him from being bored….
Playing music over in East Tupelo
This 'Ol Southern town
Why, it just has music in it's soul
You can feel it in the air - everywhere
As you drive around
In Tupelo…..
We were Antiquin' in Tupelo
What a fun thing to do
Just Antiquin' in Tupelo
On a cold Winter's day

This started with one of Tom's Open Collabs
Guitar by Tom Adams
Lyrics by Tony's Lyrics
Vocal and Mix by Riff Beach
WELL, I WAS WALKIN' OUT THE DOOR…
JUST WHAT DID I FEEL?
YOU KNOW I FELT THE RAIN
IT WAS POURIN' DOWN ON ME
JUST POURIN' DOWN ON ME… OH, YEAH!
THEN I JUMPED IN MY CAR…..
WELL, I TURNED ON THE KEY
OF COURSE THE CAR WOULDN'T START
HOW COULD THIS BE
…..HAPPENIN’ TO ME?
JUMPED THE CAR OFF
…….AS I WAS DRIVIN' DOWN THE ROAD
I HEARD A BUMPIN' SOUND
A TIRE BLEW OUT
WELL, I STOPPED THE CAR
AND I OPENED THE TRUNK
OF COURSE THE SPARE WAS FLAT……IMAGINE THAT?
…..WE WERE RUNNING FLAT
I REACHED FOR MY CELL
TO CALL OUT FOR HELP
OF COURSE THE PHONE WAS DEAD
WITHOUT A CHARGER IN SIGHT
FLAGGED A CAR DOWN
JUST TO ASK FOR HELP
BLEW HIS HORN
AS THEY DROVE ON BY
(CHORUS )
WELL, I WAS HAVIN'
ONE OF THOSE DAYS
WHEN NOTHIN'S RIGHT
ONE OF THOSE DAYS
NO HELP IN SIGHT
ONE OF THOSE DAYS
OH YEAH, ONE OF THOSE DAYS
(BRIDGE AND OUT)
HAVE YOU EVER HAD
ONE OF THOSE DAYS
PRAY YOU NEVER HAVE
(OH…. BRING IT ON HOME, TOM!!!)
(CHORUS)

BORN IN THE COUNTRY
A FEW MILES FROM TOWN

A GOOD FRIEND OF MINE

PLAYED AWESOME GUITAR
ALWAYS THE CENTERPIECE
I REMEMBER THE FIRST TIME
I HEARD HIM PLAY……...
HIS AWESOME PLAYIN'
BLEW MY MIND
HIS NAME WAS JESSE
COULD PLAY THEM BLUES……
AND ALWAYS READY
TO EXPLORE NEW AVENUES
(CHORUS)
WISH I COULD GO
BACK IN TIME………
HEAR HIM PLAY AGAIN
LIKE HE DID BACK THEN
YEA, HEAR HIM PLAY AGAIN
LIKE HE DID BACK THEN
YOU DIDN'T NEED VOCALS
WHEN JESSE PLAYED……
HE WAS A SELF-MADE
GUITAR DECIPLE
TWO OF SOUNDCLOUDS BEST
TOM ADAMS AND ROGER B-TRAIN……
THEIR PLAYIN' INSANE
ARE TRULY BLESSED

January 22, 2019 Man in Black...Before Memphis - Vocal & Lyrics by Tony Harris - Guitars & MusicScape by Riff Beach
A tribute to Johnny Cash before he became famous.
Spoken Words/Lyrics by Tony Harris
Guitars, MusicScape & Mix by Riff Beach
HE SAID NOTHIN' EVER WRITTEN
ABOUT HIM TOLD IT RIGHT
AND JOHNNY'S HEART BEAT
WITH A RHYTHM OF LOVE
HE WAS A VOICE FOR THE POOR
BELOVED BY HIPPIES, HOMEMAKERS
AND A LOT OF PREACHERS
MAN, WHAT A STORYTELLER
HE SUFFERED MANY THINGS
THAT THE WORKIN' MAN DID
WAS BOTH EXTRAORDINARY
AND HE WAS ORDINARY
GROWING UP ON A FARM
THE DIRT SHAPED HIS MUSIC
WAS WHAT COUNTRY WAS ABOUT
ALL COULD RELATE TO HIM
HIS LIFE AS A CHILD
WAS COTTON THEY SAY
HIS LIFE AS AN ADULT
WAS MUSIC YOU SEE
THEY SAY HIS DADDY
DIDN'T SHOW MUCH LOVE
THAT'S NOT FOR ME TO SAY
ONLY HIS FAMILY KNOWS
HIS BROTHER HAD A VISION
OF HEAVEN WHEN HE DIED
AT THE AGE OF FIFTEEN
HAD A BIG EFFECT ON HIM
A MAN FULL OF EMOTION
AND FULL OF EXPRESSION
JOINED THE AIRFORCE IN 1950
BEST WAY OUT OF THE COTTON FIELDS
WHERE HE BOUTHT HIS FIRST GUITAR
AND FORMED HIS FIRST BAND
RADIO HAD BEEN HIS LIFE LINE
WHEN HE LIVED ON THE FARM
AFTER HIS DISCHARGE
HE FOLLOWED HIS BROTHER
WHO HAD ALREADY MOVED
TO MEMPHIS TENNESSEE
WORKED AS A SALESMAN
FOR A LITTLE WHILE
CAMPED OUT AT THE FRONT DOOR
OF THE ONE AND ONLY SUN RECORDS
SAM PHILLIPS LATER SAID
NOBODY HE'D HEARD SOUNDED LIKE HIM
GOT TO MEET ELVIS AND JERRY LEE
THE REST MY FRIEND...IS HISTORY

Lyrics by Tony Harris (listed below) - Featuring Riff Beach
Remix of vocals and music by Riff Beach December 2018 (c)
WE KNOW MUSCLE SHOALS
THEY HAD THE SWAMPERS
THEY HAD MUSIC IN THEIR SOULS
MAN, THEY WERE KEEPERS
THEY CAME FROM FAR AND NEAR
LOOKING FOR THAT SWEET SOUND
TO UNDERSTAND YOU HAD TO LIVE HERE
THEY WERE BAMA BOUND
CAUSE THEY WERE BAMA BOUND
Chorus
TENNESSEE RIVER AND MUSIC
THEY GO HAND AND HAND
TENNESSEE RIVER AND MUSIC
THAT MUSCLE SHOALS SOUND
TENNESSEE RIVER AND MUSIC
THAT MUDDY WATER BRINGS OUT THE BEST
YEA, IT BRINGS OUT THE BEST
THEY EVEN CAME FROM FAR AWAY
TO GRAB THAT SOUND
MAN, THEY SURE HAD SOME FUN
LAYING THEM TRACKS DOWN
IT AIN'T NASHVILLE, HOSS... NEW YORK OR LA.
SOMETHING ABOUT THAT MUD
ROLLING DOWN THAT RIVER EVERYDAY
MUSIC WAS THEIR ANCHOR
(REPEAT CHORUS )

December 07, 2018 Cousin Wayne - Original raw version by Tony
I was thinking about my cousin Wayne and decided to write a song about him. This is a very quick one take recording. Lyrics, Vocal & Guitar by Tony.
HIS MAMA DIED AT CHILD BIRTH
HIS DADDY DIED IN WORLD WAR II…….
BORN HARD OF HEARING
HE HAD A PROBLEM OR TWO
RAISED BY HIS GRAND PARENTS
THAT DIDN'T SHOW MUCH LOVE…….
TIMES THEY WERE HARD
HAD SOME HELP FROM GOD ABOVE
(CHORUS)
COUSIN WAYNE….COUSIN WAYNE
HOW I MISS COUSIN WAYNE…….
ALWAYS JOKIN'….ALWAYS SMILIN'
LIFE NEVER BROUGHT HIM DOWN
LIFE NEVER BROUGHT HIM DOWN
BEING FIVE YEARS OLDER
I LOOKED UP TO HIM……..
LOVED THEM FAST CARS
BURNIN' THEM TIRES
HAD A LITTLE RED TRUCK
ALWAYS HOTRODIN'………
EVERY FRIDAY NIGHT
HE WAS DRAG RACIN'
(REPEAT CHORUS)
WHEN GRANDMA GAVE UP
HE MET A GIRL FROM BULL MOUNTAIN…….
LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT
TIME TO PARK THE LITTLE RED TRUCK
THEY WERE SOON MARRIED
BOTH ARE GONE NOW
THE BULL MOUNTAIN GIRL
ROCKED WAYNE'S WORLD
(REPEAT CHORUS )

November 09, 2018 Born In The Country #2 (Original by Tony)
I spliced parts of two of my original songs together and came up with this little country track. Words, Vocal and Guitar by Tony.
DADDY STOPPED FARMING
WHEN I WAS SEVEN YEARS OLD
CAN'T MAKE NO MONEY
HOEIN' THEM ROWS

STARTED BUILDING HOUSES
IN A NEAR BY TOWN
MAMA WAS SO THANKFUL
FOR THE JOB HE'D FOUND

I WAS BORN IN THE COUNTRY
NINE MILES FROM TOWN
DIRT ROADS AND PINE TREES
SCATTERED ALL AROUND

NO BIG HOUSE OR FANCY CAR
DOWN ON OUR LUCK
ALL MY DADDY HAD TO DRIVE
WAS HIS OLD PICK-UP TRUCK

I STILL LIVE IN THE COUNTRY
NINE MILES FROM TOWN
DIRT ROADS ARE PAVED NOW
THE PINES ARE STILL AROUND

WOKE UP EVERY MORNIN'
TO THE SOUND OF DADDY PLAYIN'
SONGS FROM HIS HEART
ON HIS OLD WORN HARP

PLAYED THEM LONESOME TRAIN SONGS
THAT MAKE YOU WANT TO SING ALONG
HOW HE STARTED HIS DAY
THEN HE WAS ON HIS WAY

I WAS BORN IN THE COUNTRY
NINE MILES FROM TOWN
DIRT ROADS ARE PAVED NOW
THE TREES ARE STILL AROUND

THE DIRT ROADS ARE PAVED NOW
THE TREES ARE STILL AROUND
