WISH YOU WELL -   words & music by Beth Williams
if i was a rubber ball i’d bounce back into your life
or a telephone call i’d ring day & night
if i was a falling rain i’d wash the years away
we’d be standing toe to toe face to face
though you’re nowhere to be found
in my heart you’re still around

and i wish you well i wish you well
i wish you well
i wish you well i wish you well i wish you well
where you are

if i was a hot cup of tea i’d be on your tabletop
or a tall willow tree i’d bend ’till you said stop
if i was a bright blue bird i’d be at your windowsill
tap tap tappin’ on the glass come tell me how you feel yea
though you’re nowhere to be found
in my heart you’re still around

and i wish you well i wish you well
i wish you well
i wish you well i wish you well i wish you well
where you are

well i’m not a rubber ball a telephone call or falling rain
not a hot cup of tea a tree or a bird at your window pane
what i am is sorry you’re not in my life
what i am is sorry you’re not here tonight
though you’re nowhere to be found
in my heart you’re still around

WISH YOU WELL - Beth Williams

Original Country Lyrics by Tony Harris 2016				
Vocal and Music Production/Mix by Riff Beach (Hess)				
				
  NO TEARS IN HANK'S BEER				
				
HANK WAS A BIT COCKY				
UNEASY AT THE SAME TIME				
SOMETIMES A BIT SHAKY				
BUT IT WAS HIS YEAR TO SHINE				
				
EIGHTEEN MONTHS ON THE OPRY				
GAVE HIM DRAWING POWER				
HIS SONGS WERE PURE POETRY				
HE WAS THE MAN OF THE HOUR
				
CHORUS				
THE YEAR WAS FIFTY ONE				
HIS BIGGEST YEAR				
BIG CROWDS STOOD IN LINE				
NO TEARS IN HANK'S BEER				
YEA, NO TEARS IN HANK'S BEER				
				
POP STARS WERE COVERING HIS HITS				
HE PLAYED SOME TV SHOWS				
HE SIGNED A MOVIE CONTRACT				
BROKE IT BY BEING A NO SHOW				
				
THE MILES HE TRAVELED 				
INCREASED HIS BACK PAIN				
BUT HE MADE THE BIG TIME				
CAUSE COUNTRY MUSIC WAS IN HIS VEINS				
				
(REPEAT CHORUS)				
				
WHY DID HE HAVE TO DIE SO YOUNG				
IN THE BACK OF THAT OLD CADLLAIC

No Tears in Hank's Beer - (Lyrics by Tony - Featuring Riff Beach)- Original

Tony Harris - Lyrics
Phillip Clarkson - Vocal/Acoustic Guitar
Tom Adams - Electric Guitar

HE PURCHASED HIS FIRST HOT ROD BOOK
WHEN HE WAS TWELVE YEARS OLD
COULDN'T WAIT TO GIVE IT A LOOK
TO HIM IT WAS HOT ROD GOLD

HIS MAMA GAVE HIM A RADIO
WHEN HE WAS TEN YEARS OLD
FROM THAT DAY HE WAS HOOKED
ON COUNTRY AND ROCK AND ROLL

(Chorus)
HOT ROD'S AND MUSIC
GO HAND IN HAND
HOT ROD'S AND MUSIC
DO YOU UNDERSTAND
SMOKING TIRES
SMOKING GUITARS
HOT ROD'S AND MUSIC
GO HAND IN HAND
YEA, HOT ROD'S AND MUSIC
GO HAND IN HAND

GOT HIS DRIVERS LICENSE
THE DAY HE TURNED SIXTEEN
READY TO CRUISE THE TOWN
HE WAS ONE HAPPY TEEN

HE MET HIS FUTURE WIFE
IN A NEAR BY TOWN
SHE  LOVED MUSIC
AND CRUISING AROUND

(REPEAT CHORUS 2 TIMES)

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 
	
	© 2017 Lyrics by Tony Harris (BMI)

RiffWerx - 2017
You never said, "I'm Leaving"
You never said, "Goodbye”
You were gone before we knew it.......
And only God knows Why
(Chorus 1)
A million times I needed You
A million times I cried
If love alone could have saved You
You (know you) never would have Died
(Bridge)
In Life, I loved you Dearly
In Death, I love You Still
In My Heart, I hold a Place
That only You can Fill
(Chorus 2)
It broke My Heart to lose You
But, You didn't go Alone
As part of Me went with You
The Day God took you Home

Lyrics:
Tell me stories ‘bout all the little things
Tell me stories ‘bout the rain
How the wind blew you into my life
Tell me stories ‘bout yesterday
Tell me stories ‘bout yesterday

Tell me about the photograph you keep
in a locket on that golden chain
Tell me ‘bout the memories it brings
Tell me stories ‘bout yesterday 
Tell me stories ‘bout yesterday

It’s those little things 
that make us who we are
in those memories we keep
Tell me stories about your rainy nights
Tell me stories ‘bout yesterday 
Tell me stories ‘bout yesterday

all the little things w/ lyrics

Original Song – Opposites Attract (c)
Written and Performed by: Michael Duffy

Lyrics: Opposites Attract

They say opposites attract and I can vouch for that
We be at it steady like a dog and a cat
You say black and I say white
All day long all we do is fight

You say the kids are yours when they doing alright 
You say there mine when they bicker and fight
We fight about the rent and all the bills 
When you roll your eyes you make me wanna run for the hills

But when we settle up and do some loving 
We always wind up with a bun in the oven 
And just when we think everything is going sweet 
Back we go to fighting and a yelling in the street

Now I don’t know how things are gonna go
We be at it steady like a bomb about to blow
you be the chalk and I be the cheese 
I can even see birds out fighting with the bees

But when we settle up and do some loving 
We always wind up with a bun in the oven 
And just when we think everything is going sweet 
Back we go back to fighting and a yelling in the street

Now we're gonna grow grey and old together
And don’t you know we probably fight about the weather
But come the time for one to pass away 
We be kicking and fighting for each other to stay

We always settled up and we did allot of loving
We always loved to see those buns leave the oven 
It wasn’t always rosey nor it wasn’t always sweet 
But without you in my life it would be incomplete

AS THE OLD COWBOY		
RODE INTO TOWN		
HE WAS LOOKIN'		
ALL AROUND		
		
HE'D BEEN RIDIN'		
LONG AND HARD		
FROM HIS SADDLE		
SWEAT WAS DRIPPIN'		
		
HE TIED HIS HORSE		
TO THE HITCHIN' POST		
WALKED INSIDE		
THE OLD SALOON		
		
HE WAS LOOKIN'		
FOR BILLY DEAN		
A TWO LEGGED SNAKE		
MAN, WAS HE MEAN 		
		
CHORUS		
THE RATTLESNAKE SALOON		
WHERE THE WHISKEY FLOWS		
THE RATTLESNAKE SALOON		
WHERE THE BAD MEN GO		
THE RATTLESNAKE SALOON		
WHERE MANY HAVE DIED		
THE RATTLESNAKE SALOON		
WHERE FROM YOUR SIN 		
YOU CANNOT HIDE		
FROM YOUR SIN		
YOU CANNOT HIDE		
		
THE TIRED COWBOY		
SPOTTED THE ONE		
HE'D BEEN HUNTIN'		
NO MORE SEARCHIN'		
		
AS THEIR EYES MET		
GUNS WERE DRAWN		
THE OLD COWBOY		
BEAT HIM TO THE DRAW

AS DEAN FELL TO THE FLOOR
HE SAID, SORRY OLD MAN
DIDN'T MEAN TO KILL HER
GUESS YOU EVENED THE SCORE

THE UNFORTUNATE SON
                             
BEEN READING JOHN'S NEW BOOK				
SAW IT ON THE BOOK STORE SHELF				
DECIDED TO GIVE IT A LOOK				
JUST A FEW OF THEM WERE LEFT				
BEING A CCR FAN				
WELL I GAVE IT A READ				
I LOVED THAT SIXTIES BAND				
GLAD THAT JOHN TOOK THE LEAD				
THE FORTUNATE SON				
BECAME THE UNFORTUNATE ONE				
LEFT OUT IN THE COLD				
FOR A FEW PIECES OF GOLD				
OH THE FORTUNATE SON				
BECAME THE UNFORTUNATE ONE				
OH ,YEA, THE UNFORTUNATE ONE				
AFTER THE BAND BROKE UP				
HE DIDN'T PERFORM FOR AWHILE				
MET THE LOVE OF HIS LIFE				
CONVINCED HIM TO NOT GIVE UP				
THEN BEFORE TOO LONG				
HE WAS BACK ON TOP AGAIN				
WITH A STRING OF HITS				
FOREVER A BANSMAN				
THE FORTUNATE SON				
BECAME THE UNFORTUNATE ONE				
LEFT OUT IN THE COLD				
FOR A FEW PIECES OF GOLD				
AWESOME GUITARIST				
HE PRACTICED EVERY DAY				
ONE OF THE BEST				
HE'S BACK IN CENTERFIELD				
AND NOW HE'S BACK IN CENTERFIELD				
I'M SO GLAD HE'S BACK IN CENTERFIELD				
THE FORTUNATE SON				
BECAME THE UNFORTUNATE ONE				
BUT NOW HE'S BACK IN CENTERFIELD				
AND NOW HE'S BACK IN CENTERFIELD				
I'M SO GLAD THAT HE'S BACK IN CENTERFIELD

So many good years with this lady standing by me.  I don't know how or why she does it.  We are living in our latter years now and can reflect on the so many good things in our lives.  I am not very good at love songs, but I wrote this one a while back.  She has a birthday this week and I would like to share this on SC.  Happy Birthday my Lou Ann

Many thanks to Glen Granthem  for all of his hard work on this track.
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

A breakout from city to country living isn’t always the ultimate cure for life stresses, but usually comes with benefits.

Dirty Boots      copyright Okunbor, C. (APRA)

The grass grows greener on a distant shore,
But then the rain’s gotta pour down a whole lot more.
You can run away from trouble and hide from strife,
Find more rainbows in a distant life.

When you leave my boots outside the door,
Your worries at the back porch floor 
You leave your dirty, muddy boots outside the door.

Never been to heaven but some folks say,
We’re living in a land of milk and honey.
Get some animals. Plant some trees,
And I’ll sing to all the stones in a mountain stream.

When I leave my boots outside the door,
My worries at the back porch floor 
I’ll leave my dirty, muddy boots outside the door.

Sorrows may come and fears get sown,
Troubles start rattlin’ the old home’s bones.
Well the rain may patter and the rain may pour,
But the sun’s gonna’ shine down a whole lot more.

I’ll leave my boots outside the door,
Worries at the back porch floor 
I leave my dirty, muddy boots outside.

Never been to heaven but some folks say,
We’re living in a land of milk and honey.

Sunny Beaches Ahead

Re-do of a previous post, this with some minor chord and lyric changes. Songs can always be better.

Wanna Be

Written and recorded by Gordon Lightfoot in 1970.  One of the most covered songs in popular music history.  Recorded by stars like Barbara Streisand, Olivia Newton-John, Kenny Rogers, Johnny Cash and many others.  So much meaning in these lyrics.  I had a simple, slower track I had recorded awhile back and asked Mark Mayes if he would give it his vocals.  WOW, what a perfect voice for this tune.  Terrific !  Thank you Mark

Cracked Coconut © 
Original - Riff Beach (RiffWerx 2018)
Eat a Peach while driving South
Almost taste the rum in your mouth
Headed on the way to Out of Reach
To plop ourselves right on a Beach
(Chorus)
Oh, we’ll watch the Sun
Rise and Set
It’s not over......over yet
Yeah, It’s far from over yet 
Life’s a Treat
When there’s Heat....
Sure beats Livin’....
....on some Cold Street!
Work’s all done
....and, we’re having Fun
Lazy days out in the Sun
No more time for ‘On the Run'
We’ll find a place
And make a space
Just feel those rays upon your face
Oh, Man, how we love this pace
The drinks are cold, and......
The Smokes are rolled
Oh, Lord, won’t ya’ soothe (save) my soul? ......
What a way to grow Old
What a way to grow Old
(Back to Chorus and Out)

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
