A tribute to Mr. Windel Page

WHEN I WAS JUST A BOY
VISITING MY AUNT'S HOUSE
WOULD FILL MY HEART WITH JOY
I LOVED THAT OLD FARMHOUSE

MR. PAGE AND HIS WIFE
LIVED NEXT DOOR
THEY HAD A GREAT LIFE
WHO COULD ASK FOR MORE

THEY HAD SOMETHING SPECIAL
THAT I'D NEVER SEEN
HE TREATED HER LIKE AN ANGLE
IT WAS LIKE A DREAM

(CHORUS)
YOU COULD SEE THE FAITH IN HIS EYES
AND FEEL THE LOVE IN HIS HEART
HE WAS BAPTIZED IN GOD'S LOVE
YOU KNEW THAT FROM THE START

HE WOULD SING AMAZING GRACE
WITH A BIG SMILE ON HIS FACE
BEING A WORLD WAR II VET
DID HE HONOR THE FLAG? YOU BET

GOSPEL MUSIC WAS IN HIS SOUL
HE LOVED THE LORD AND FAMILY 
WHEN TALKING ABOUT HIS FAITH
HE WAS VERY BOLD

HE LOVED HIS CHURCH FAMILY
NO MATTER WHAT THEIR AGE
WILL FOREVER BE MISSED
REST IN PEACE...MR. PAGE

(REPEAT CHORUS OPTIONAL)

YOUR UNFAILING LOVE
IS AS BIG AS THE HEAVENS

IS AS BIG AS THE OCEAN

(CHORUS)
UNDER YOUR WINGS
WE FIND SHELTER
UNDER YOUR WINGS
WE FIND LOVE
UNDER YOUR WINGS
WE CAN LIVE FOR EVER
UNDER YOUR WINGS
WE FIND LOVE

YOUR PRECIOUS LOVE
TAKES AWAY OUR FEARS
OUR REFUGE IN THE STORM
YOU TAKE AWAY OUR TEARS

WE DRINK FROM YOUR RIVER
YOUR EVERLASTING LOVE
BRINGS US TOGETHER

Words that inspired Glen are listed below. 

HE GREW UP IN A SMALL TOWN
DOWN IN THE DEEP SOUTH
LOVED FOUR/FOUR TIME
AND MAKIN' WORDS RHYME

HE TRIED HIS HAND AT SONGWRITIN'
SIGNED A FEW SONG CONTRACTS
HAD A FEW PLAYED ON THE RADIO
BUT THINGS WERE MOVIN' SLOW

HE DECIDED TO MOVE TO MUSIC CITY 
WHERE THE COST OF LIVIN' WAS HIGH
A CITY FULL OF SINGER/SONGWRITERS
WANTIN' TO BE COUNTRY STARS

(CHORUS)
IF YOU LOVE MAKIN' WORDS RHYME
AND WRITIN' COUNTRY SONGS
MOST PEOPLE WOULD  AGREE
NASHVILLE'S THE PLACE TO BE
BUT, MAKIN' IT ON MUSIC ROW
CAN BE A HARD ROW TO HOE

DIDN'T TAKE HIM LONG TO FIND OUT
IF HE WANTED TO WRITE A HIT
HE HAD TO WORK OVERTIME
MAKIN' HIS WORDS RHYME

WELL, WORKING OVERTIME
DIDN'T HELP HIM VERY MUCH
CAUSE, NASHVILLE'S A TOUGH SALE
AND A HARD LADDER TO CLIMB

(REPEAT CHORUS)

Making Words Rhyme - Original Collab by Tony Harris & Glenny G's "One Man Band"

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)

Original Lyrics by Tony Harris
Featuring Glen Granthem and The Glen Granthem Band

The lyrics that inspired Glen are listed below.

HIS HEART SKIPPED A BEAT			
WHEN HE OPENED THE LETTER 			
THAT SAID REPORT FOR A PHYSICAL			
IT KNOCKED HIM OFF HIS FEET			
			
IT WAS A EARLY MORNING RIDE			
TO THE GREYHOUND STATION			
NOT A DAY HE LIKES TO REMEMBER			
HE WAS FEELING SICK INSIDE			
			
STEPPING OFF THE BUS			
AT THE BASE IN MONTGOMERY			
A MAN HANDED HIM A SMALL BIBLE			
THAT'S WHEN HE STARTED TO WORRY			
			
PASSED THE TEST WITH FLYING COLORS			
TOOK HIS FIRST PLANE RIDE			
TO FORT BRAGG NORTH CAROLINA			
FELT LIKE HIS HANDS WERE TIED			
			
WITH A WIFE BACK HOME			
AND A TWO MONTH OLD SON			
SOUTHEAST ASIA WAS IN THE CARDS			
HE NEVER FELT SO ALL ALONE			
			
(CHORUS)			
HIS WIFE AND MAMA CRIED			
AS THE GREYHOUND PULLED AWAY			
HE HAD A SICK FEELING INSIDE			
ON THAT WARM SPRING DAY 			
HIS CAREER WAS SIDELINED			
THE DAY HE TOOK THAT RIDE………			
YEA, IT WAS SIDELINED			
THE DAY HE TOOK THAT RIDE………			
			
(BRIDGE)			
GOD'S WILL AND MAMA'S PRAYERS			
BROUGHT HIM BACK HOME			
FROM THAT FAR AWAY PLACE			
			
(REPEAT CHORUS 2 TIMES)

The Day He Took That Ride - Lyrics by Tony Harris - Featuring The Glen Granthem Band - Original

Music and production by The Glen Granthem Band
This is our 3rd collaboration together...many thanks to Glen
My lyrics that inspired Glen are listed below.

HE GREW UP IN THE DUST BOWL
IN A SMALL TOWN IN OKLAHOMA
NO JOBS, JUST DUST AND MORE DUST
DREAMING ABOUT CALIFORNIA

ONE DAY HE DECIDED TO HEAD WEST
THE ROAD WAS LONG AND HARD
HITCH HIKING WHEN HE COULD
JUMPIN FREIGHT CARS IN TRAIN YARDS

A SIGN PAINTER BY TRADE
LOST HIS BRUSHES ON THE ROAD
MANAGED TO HANG ON TO HIS HARP
THE BOY WAS LONELY AND AFRAID

HE MADE IT TO THE GOLD COAST
FLAT BROKE AND HUNGRY
WITH ONLY THE SHIRT ON BACK
NEEDED SOME FOOD BADLY

STARTED PLAYING HIS HARP AND SINGING  
ON A STREET CORNER FOR NICKLES AND DIMES
SOON THE CROWDS WERE GATHERING
TO HEAR THE BOY FROM THE DUST BOWL

HE WAS THEN OFFERED A GIG AT A BAR
WITH A BORROWED GUITAR AND HARP
HE WAS SOON ON THE ROAD TO BEING A STAR
A RECORD DEAL WAS IN THE MAKING

CHORUS
FROM THE DUST BOWL TO STARDOM
THE YOUNG MAN NEVER GAVE UP
FROM THE DUST BOWL TO STARDOM
SOME SAY IT WAS DUMB LUCK
FROM THE DUST BOWL TO STARDOM
HE NEVER GAVE UP…HE NEVER GAVE UP

BRIDGE
HE WROTE SONGS ABOUT THE WORKING MAN
BECAUSE HE CARED ABOUT THE WORKING MAN

(REPEAT CHORUS)

From the Dust Bowl to Stardom - Lyrics by Tony Harris - Featuring The Glen Granthem Band - Original

Original Lyrics by Tony (listed below) that inspired Glen
Vocals, Music, Production & Mix by Glen Granthem (Glenny G's "One Man Band")

HE HITCH HIKED TO TUPELO
ON A RAINY MONDAY MORNIN'	
HIS MAMA BEGGED HIM NOT TO GO	
THE BOY WAS OFF AND RUNNIN'	
	
NEXT DAY HE MADE IT TO MEMPHIS	
NO TURNIN' BACK NOW	
HIS LIFE HAD NO PURPOSE	
HE HAD MADE IT SOMEHOW	
	
CHORUS	
HE TRAVELED ALL THE WAY TO MEMPHIS	
TO GET HER OFF HIS MIND	
TRAVELED ALL THE WAY TO MEMPHIS	
PROVING THAT LOVE IS BLIND	
TRAVELED ALL THE WAY TO MEMPHIS	
TO GET HER OFF HIS MIND	
BUT, SHE'S STILL ON HIS MIND	
	
SHE WAS HIS REASON FOR LEAVIN'	
SHE DIDN'T LOVE HIM ANYMORE	
HIS LIFE HAD NO MEANIN'	
SO HE WALKED OUT THE DOOR	
	
HE SHOULD HAVE LISTENED	
TO WHAT SHE HAD TO SAY	
HIS CHANCE AT LOVE WAS RUINED	
ON THAT RAINY SUMMER DAY	
	
(REPEAT CHORUS)	
	
(BRIDGE)	
DON'T END UP WITH A HEARTACHE	
TAKE THE TIME TO LISTEN	
DON'T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE	
	
(REPEAT CHORUS)

The Lyrics that inspired Glen are listed below 

MY MIND GOES BACK IN TIME
TO SOUTHEAST ASIA
IT WAS  DAYTIME
IN THAT WARTIME ARENA

A YOUNG MAN HAD BEEN RUN OVER
BY A LARGE MILITARY TRUCK
AS HE LAY LIFELESS ON THE SHOULDER
I WAS DUMBSTRUCK

NOTICED SOMETHING VERY STRANGE
AS WE STOPPED TO HELP HIM
THE LOCAL PEOPLE WALKED ON BY
NOT SEEMING TO CARE ABOUT HIM

HE DIDN'T SEEM TO MATTER
TO THE HIS PEOPLE
WHY DIDN'T THEY CARE
IT MADE ME FEEL BITTER

CHORUS
WHY ARE WE HERE………..
IN THIS FOR AWAY PLACE
WHY ARE WE HERE………..
IN THEIR BIRTHPLACE
THEY DON'T SEEM TO CARE
ABOUT THEIR OWN………..
WHY ARE WE HERE………
YEA, WHY ARE WE HERE……..

FIFTY EIGHT THOUSAND LIVES LOST
IN THAT FAR AWAY LAND
MANY UNDER THE AGE OF TWENTY
THEY PAID THE ULTIMATE COST

The lyrics that inspired Glen are listed below.

I'M NOT A POLITICAL GUY
DON'T ASK ME TO TAKE A SIDE
IF YOUR WANDERING WHY
IT'S A LONG HARD RIDE

THE WORLD IS FILLED WITH DIVISION
ARE YOU LEFT OR ARE YOU RIGHT
IF YOU MAKE IT YOUR LIFES MISSION
IT WILL BRING YOU PAIN AND STRIFE

(CHORUS)
I'M NOT A POLITICAL GUY
LET ME TELL YOU WHY
WE SHOULD MEET IN THE MIDDLE
WORK TOGETHER TO FIGHT EVIL
WHY CAN'T WE WORK TOGETHER
TO MAKE THE WORLD BETTER
AND MEET IN THE MIDDLE
YEA, MEET IN THE MIDDLE

FAMILIES HAVE BEEN DESTROYED
BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT AGREE
LOVE LOST AND FOREVER DIVIDED
HOW DID THIS COME TO BE

WHY CAN'T WE AGREE TO DISAGREE
WHY CAN'T WE LOVE ONE ANOTHER
IT'S NOT ABOUT YOU AND ME
IN THIS LIFE...WE ARE ALL BROTHERS

(REPEAT CHORUS)

GOD, FAMILY, LOVE AND PEACE
IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING OF ALL

The lyrics listed below inspired Glen to produce this track after he made a few changes to make it flow. I thank him for his hard work on this one.                     

A FRIEND WAS IN NEED
ON THAT FRIDAY NIGHT
SO HE KINDLY AGREEDED
TO HELP IN HIS PLIGHT

THEY TOOK A LONG DRIVE
ON INTERSTATE FIFTY-FIVE
TO A DESTINATION
THAT WOULD BE A LIFE LESSON

ARRIVIN' IN RECORD TIME
HE HELPED WITH HIS BAGGAGE
GLAD TO HELP ANYTIME
TO HIM IT WAS A PRIVILEGE

IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE
HE WAS LAYIN' ON THE GROUND
LOOKIN' UP AT THE SKY
A DRUNK DRIVER HAD HIT HIM

THE ROAD TO RECOVERY
WAS VERY LONG
BUT HIS WILL WAS STRONG
THE MUSIC WOULD SET HIM FREE

MUSIC WAS HIS SAVING GRACE
TAKING HIM BACK IN TIME
TO A BEAUTIFUL PLACE
WHERE EVERYTHING RHYMNED
IN FOUR FOUR TIME
YEA, WHERE IT RHYMNED
IN FOUR FOUR TIME

HE THANKED GOD ABOVE
FOR HIS WONDERFUL LOVE
ON THAT FRIDAY NIGHT

BORN IN THE COUNTRY
A FEW MILES FROM TOWN
LOVE GOSPEL AND COUNTRY
THAT ROCK N ROLL SOUND

A GOOD FRIEND OF MINE
MAY HE REST IN PEACE………
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

(REPEAT CHORUS)

Lyrics by Tony Harris (Tribute to my Uncle)
Vocals, Melody, Instruments & Mix by Glen Granthem

IN DECEMBER OF SIXTY NINE
THE WAR WAS ON HIS MIND
CAUSE HE WAS NUMBER THREE
ON THE DRAFT LOTTERY

HE WAS SOON ON HIS WAY
TO RUN AND MARCH IN THE SAND
WILL NEVER FORGET THAT DAY
EVERYTHING WAS SO UNPLANNED

HIS UNCLE WORE AN OLD DIME
ON HIS DOG TAGS IN WWII
AND IT WAS NOW HIS TIME
TO WARE IT ON HIS CHAIN TO

IF THAT OLD DIME COULD TALK
WHAT A STORY IT COULD TELL
IT TRAVELED ON TRAINS,
SHIPS, PLANES AND BACK HOME

(CHORUS) 
THAT DIME ON A CHAIN
MEANT THE WORLD TO HIS UNCLE
THAT DIME ON A CHAIN
NOW MEANS THE WORLD TO HIM
THAT DIME ON A CHAIN AND GOD
BROUGHT THEM BACK HOME AGAIN
YEA, IT BROUGHT THEM BACK HOME

WHEN THEY WERE ALL ALONE
THAT DIME ON A CHAIN
REMINDED THEM OF HOME
AND HEARTACHE AND PAIN

HIS UNCLE COULDN'T TALK ABOUT WAR
WITHOUT BREAKING DOWN AND CRYING
THE HURT WAS IN HIS INNER CORE
DYING WAS ALWAYS ON HIS MIND

(REPEAT CHORUS)

DOWNHILL SLIDE
Lyrics by Tony Harris (that inspired Glen to create this track)
Vocals, Music and Mix by Glen Granthem 

HE WOKE UP ONE MORNIN'
ON A DOWNHILL SLIDE
DIDN'T KNOW WHERE HE WAS GOIN'
HAD BEEN A LONG HARD RIDE

HE HAD HOLES IN HIS SHOES
PATCHES ON HIS BRITCHES
NOTHIN' LEFT TO LOSE
TRYIN' TO STAY BETWEEN THE DITCHES

SEEMED HE'D LOST HIS WAY
DIDN'T KNOW WHERE HE'D BEEN
HAD NO WHERE TO STAY
HE JUST COULDN'T WIN

(CHORUS)
ON A DOWNHILL SLIDE
WITH THE DEVIL AS HIS GUIDE
ON A DOWNHILL SLIDE
COULD BE HIS LAST RIDE
ON A DOWNHILL SLIDE
WITH THE DEVIL AS HIS GUIDE
ON A DOWNHILL SLIDE
WITH THE DEVIL AS HIS GUIDE

HE FOUND OUT THE HARD WAY
ON THE WAY TO ROCK BOTTOM
THAT LIFE'S NOT ALL PLAY
HE WAS THE PROBLEM

LOST SOME GOOD FRIENDS
LETTIN' THE DEVIL BE HIS GUIDE
PROMISED HIM GOOD TIMES
IF HE'D TAKE THAT RIDE

DON'T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE
DON'T TAKE THAT RIDE
CHANGE BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE
IT'S A DOWNHILL SLIDE
IT'S A DOWNHILL SLIDE

The lyrics listed below inspired Glen to create this track.

SHE LEFT SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
ON A WARM SUNDAY MORNIN'
HAD NO REASON TO STAY 
THAT'S WHY SHE WAS LEAVIN'

TRYED HER HAND AT ACTIN'
IT DIDN'T WORK OUT
WOUND UP WORKIN'
LEARNIN' TO DO WITHOUT

MET A HANSOME YOUNG MAN
GONNA SHOW HER THE ROPES
HIS PLAN WAS THE WRONG PLAN
LEAVIN' HER WITH NO HOPE

WITH LA IN THE REAR VIEW MIRROW
SHE WAS HEADED BACK HOME
LEAVIN' NOTHING BUT SORROW
WHY'D SHE WAIT SO LONG

(CHORUS)
HEADIN' FOR THAT MISSISSIPPI LINE
WITH BILOXI ON HER MIND
TWO THOUSAND MILES AWAY
HEADED HOME TO STAY
THAT MISSISSIPPI LINE
WITH BILOXI ON HER MIND
YEA, BILOXI ON HER MIND
BILOXI ON HER MIND…........

DRIVIN' ACROSS SEVERAL STATES
MEMORIES CAME TO MIND
PRAYIN' IT'S NOT TOO LATE
AS SHE CROSSED THE MISSISSIPPI LINE

ARRIVIN' IN THE NIGHTTIME
WOULD SHE BE WELCOMED
SHE'D BEEN GONE A LONG TIME
WHAT WOULD BE THE OUTCOME

PULLIN' INTO THE DRIVEWAY
THE PORCH LIGHTS CAME ON
SAID MAMA I'M HERE TO STAY
BILOXI'S ON MY HOME

SHE WAS GLAD TO SEE HER
GREETED HER WITH OPEN ARMS
STARTIN' A NEW CHAPTER
A SHELTER IN THE STORM

WHEN HE WAS GROWING UP
HIS DADDY TALKED A LOT
ABOUT GROWING UP

AS A CHILD BACK THEN
IT DIDN'T MEAN MUCH TO HIM
TO HIS DADDY,  IT MEANT A LOT
DOWN IN BOARDTREE BOTTOM

BOARDTREE CREEK
RAN THRU BOARDTREE BOTTOM
WHERE THE BOY'S HUNG OUT
DOWN IN BOARDTREE BOTTOM

(CHORUS)
BOARDTREE BOTTOM
WHERE THE WATER RUNS COLD
BOARDTREE BOTTOM
WHERE MEMORIES UNFOLD
BOARDTREE BOTTOM
WHERE THE COOL WIND BLOWS
WHERE THE COOL WIND BLOWS

THE COLD WATER WAS GREAT
ON THOSE HOT SUMMER DAYS
THEY BECAME LIFE LONG FRIENDS
DOWN IN BOARDTREE BOTTOM

BOARDTREE BOTTOM
HAD A SMALL COUNTRY CHURCH
WHERE MANY WERE BAPTISED
DOWN IN BOARDTREE CREEK

COUNTRY LIFE WAS DIFFERENT
WAY BACK THEN IN THE SOUTH
THE TIMES, THEY HAVE CHANGED
DOWN IN BOARDTREE BOTTOM

MANY SONGS WRITTEN
ABOUT THE WATER
MOST HAVE BEEN FORGOTTEN
DIDN'T SEEM TO MATTER

SOMETHING ABOUT A GOOD TIME 
SPLASHIN' AROUND IN THE WATER
BEIN' ABLE TO UNWIND
NOTHIN' MUCH BETTER

(CHORUS)
IT'S NOT A GOOD DAY
IT'S AGAINST THE LAW THEY SAY
TO GO IN THE WATER
I'M IN MY PRIME
IT'S SPRINGTIME
WHY CAN'T I GO IN THE WATER
I WANT TO GO IN THE WATER

I DON'T REMEMBER THE BEACHES
EVER BEIN' CLOSED 
IF YOU GO IN THE WATER 
YOU'LL PAY THE CONSEQUENCES

WE'RE ALL IN IT TOGETHER
PRAY THE FUTURE WILL BE BETTER
STAY OUT OF THE WATER
CURFEW'S REALLY DO MATTER

Lyrics by Tony Harris

The lyrics below inspired Glen to produce this track.

JOHNNY WASEN'T A PREACHER MAN	
OR THE LEADER OF A WORSHIP BAND	
HE WASEN'T A BIG TIME MINISTER	
OR EVEN A SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHER	
	
HE NEVER EVER PRAYED OUT LOUD	
OR TRIED TO STAND OUT IN A CROWD	
HE WAS NO STRANGER TO LUST OR SIN	
NEVER AFRAID TO SAY AMEN	
	
(CHORUS)	
JOHNNY LOVED JESUS, MUSIC AND FAMILY  	
HE WAS ABSOLUTELY HIS OWN WORST ENEMY	
HE LOVED SINGIN' PRAISES TO HIS LORD	
PRAYED THAT HEAVEN WOULD BE HIS REWARD	
	
	
HE DIDN'T LIVE IN A MANSION	
OR NEED LOTS OF  ATTENTION	
HE DIDN'T DRIVE A FANCY CAR	
OR OWN ANY RARE GUITARS	
	
HE LOVED HIS OLD FLAT TOP	
AND HE PLAYED IT NONSTOP	
HE WAS A TRUE DISCIPLE	
OF THAT OLD TIME COUNTRY GOSPEL	
	
(REPEAT CHORUS)	
	
NOW HE'S SINGIN' WITH THE ANGEL'S	
AND WALKIN' THE STREETS OF GOLD	
	
(GUITAR SOLO)	
	
(REPEAT CHORUS )

I SAW HER WALKIN' DOWN THE HALL
THE PRETTIST GIRL OF THEM ALL
SHE DIDN'T EVEN LOOK AT ME
WHAT COULD THE PROBLEM BE

I ADMITT THAT I WAS SHY
A VERY QUITE KIND OF GUY
WHY DIDN'T SHE LOOK MY WAY
ON THAT PARTICULAR DAY

(CHORUS)
DON'T BE AFRAID TO ASK A PRETTY GIRL OUT
BELIEVE ME I KNOW WHAT I'M TALKIN' ABOUT
DON'T LET IT BE SOMETHING YOU'LL REGRET
DON'T BE AFRAID TO ASK A PRETTY GIRL OUT

WHY DIDN'T I TRY TO TALK TO HER
AND ASK FOR HER NUM-BER
WHY DIDN'T I GIVE IT A TRY
INSTEAD OF BEIN' SO SHY

THAT WAS A LONG TIME AGO
WILL NEVER FORGET THAT DAY 
DON'T BE A SHY KIND OF GUY
I'M TRYIN' TO TELL YOU WHY

(REPEAT CHORUS)

SAW HER WALKIN' DOWN THE HALL
