What's The Point In A Huge World If You Have Tight Shoes

Gray Hair of Wisdom
Music and Lyrics by Mike Krath

I wrote this song for you,
When I was very young,
When the world was a large place,
And it’s heroes were unsung,
When make-believe was real,
And nothing we did was wrong.  
And passion was our guide,
that moved our love along.
Passion was our guide,
that moved our love along.

I wrote this song for you,
When your face was still so young,
When the world had become a smaller place,
And its heroes now undone,
When beliefs were challenged,
To question right from wrong,
Until all that was left was strength
To carry our love along,
All that was left was strength 
To carry our love along. 

I wrote this song for you,
When I had nothing young to say,
When the world had become old,
And it’s heroes kept at bay,
When darkness now reigned,
To block the midday sun,
But the gray hair of wisdom
Guided our love along,
The gray hair of wisdom,
Guided our love along.

These Changes

Can I Still Love?
Music and Lyrics by Mike Krath

I see a shadow,
on the wall,
is it her?
I don’t know,

I hear a hand scrape,
across my door,
is she back?
I can’t guess. 

On and on,
life goes on,
I’ve gotten old,
and the beat of my heart is weak,
can I still love?

I smell a face 
from distant past,
is she here?
Not a hint. 

I feel her pains, 
that once were real,
by me?
I don’t know. 

On and on,
life goes on,
I’ve gotten old,
and the beat of my heart is weak,
can I still love?

Can I Still Love?

Hymn For Humanity

My Son's Pill
Music and Lyrics by Mike Krath

I woke up with another ache,
Took my son’s pill by mistake. 

My son’s pill,
What a thrill,
Off to a planet
And still there still. 
My son’s pill,
What a thrill,
Off to a planet
And still there... 

interlude

Mama will you love me
Now that I’m a druggie
Will you?
Will you?

Mama will you leave me
Now that I feel unworthy.
Will you?
Will you?

interlude

If I had wings,
I would fly,
Just need to find,
a higher rise.
If I had wings,
I would soar,
Across sugar fields to a candy shore.

interlude

I came down with another ache,
Gave me an excuse for another mistake.

My Son's Pill

Lyrics:

Walking in the park
With you on a sunlit day,
Everything’s okay  
Heading towards the new place
At the corner of first and main
Going to get a burger and coke,
And talk the time away
Sitting on a bench,
Watching the sun go down over the bay.

When I’m with you
Everything is…

Walking in the park
With you on an easy day,
Eating a dog or two
From the vendor along on the way. 
Standing in line for tickets,
For a show that’s off-Broadway,
Together applauding the actors until the curtains 
Hides them away.

When I’m with you
Everything is…

Walking in the park
With you at the end of the day,
Grabbing a bite to eat,
Before heading home on the train.
Watching TV until we fall asleep
And that at half past ten. 
Looking forward to tomorrow 
Where we can do it all over again. 

When I’m with you,
Everything is..
Okay

Walking in the Park

self prod
i told myself id die again i dont wanna feel alive again
cus im so tired of my fucking head
endless nights i was praying i could just be dead
oh God, God, im scared of my head
oh God, God please get me out this mess

God i know your watching
your prolly disapointed
i sin everyday and pray that i can change
then do it all the same
oh i am such a shame
oh im the one to blame
oh i cheated your game
oh kick me out the game
oh kick me out the game
oh

kick me out the fucking game

USA Songwriting Competition Finalist Song (2019)!!!@!

The Reefer Song
By Cowboy Billy Herron

My friends all like to do reefer
They think it’s lots of fun.
They laugh and joke with every toke.
They ain’t hurtin’ anyone.

But when they pass a joint to me,
I have to wave it away. 
I feel bad because I'm kinda harshin’ their buzz, 
But this is what I say ...

It makes me stupid as a stump.
Horny as a hound.
Woozy as a worm that’s a-wigglin’ on the ground.  
Giggly as a girl gettin' tickled up and down.
That’s what reefer does to me. 
Yeah that’s what reefer does to me.  

Now I know it’s getting legal
In a growing number of states.
Across the nation there’s a population 
Who think it’s really great.

But when it comes to can-na-bis
I have to say, “I can-not.”
'Cause when I do weed I’m guaranteed
To get dimmer than a 15-watt.   

It makes me stupid as a stump.
Horny as a hound.
Woozy as a worm that’s a-wigglin’ on the ground.  
Giggly as a girl gettin' tickled up and down.
That’s what reefer does to me. 
Yeah that’s what reefer does to me.  

Ain’t like like I never smoked it.
I had my share back when.
But then one day I got carried away.
Smoked a whole dime bag with a friend.

When I went home I was in my room
And things started getting weird.
My Neil Young poster started talking to me.
And I got really scared.

I went outside, walked down the street.
And everyone was staring at me.
Cars hit the brakes for to see me baked.
So I hid behind a tree. 

Then a psychedelic squirrel came up to me.
And he looked me in the eye. 
He shook his little head, and then he said,
"Dude, you are really high."

So I ran back to my house again.
And I didn’t know what to do,
I went to the kitchen 'cause my belly was itchin’
For some junky no-good food.

I decided to cook three hot dogs
And I smothered them with Nutella.
My Mom, she caught me in the act.
She said, “What’s going on there, fella.”

The kitchen was a mess, my Mom was mad.
So I just went to sleep.
That’s the last time I smoked pot my friends.
'Cause of what it does to me.  

It makes me stupid as a stump.
Horny as a hound.
Woozy as a worm that’s a-wigglin’ on the ground.  
Giggly as a girl gettin' tickled up and down.
That’s what reefer does to me.  
Yeah that’s what reefer does to me.

Songs of Minimal Significance and Occasional Meaning

The Reefer Song (A Cowboy Billy Herron Original)

I’m a song-writer who enjoys creating music of any genre.

My son recently introduced me to A.I. and taught me how to do covers of my previously released non-A.I. music. Since I've never considered myself a performer (except playing with worship bands at church or solo-piano at a rehab center) using A.I. is right up my alley.

Since I've  exhausted using my previously released music for A.I. covers, I now compose music in a DAW, rip to a wave file, and make an A.I. cover of this wave file. I then write lyrics to the A.I. music. It takes around 100 A.I. iterations to complete the lyrics and get a style I'm happy with.  

Brief Bio: Lived more than a quarter of my life overseas (Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Turkiye, Italy, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan). Each country gave me an appreciation for different types of music plus probably why I get bored easily in sticking with one genre or another.
