Heart Of The Country

Hell Bent For Leather
J. Michael Tracy  male vocal/uptempo


Was headed, for a breakdown
But I found her, and she saved me
Didn’t know where, to go now
But she did and, she gave me

A reason, for livin’
No wonder, I’m singin’
We’re movin’, and I’m ridin’
White thunder, and we’re flyin’

  Old Road King, I don’t care
  We’re west bound, and we’ll be there 

    Hell bent for leather,
    Iron and steel
    Blue skies and open roads, on two wheels
    
    Diggin this freedom
    And owe it all to you, I’m
    Hell bent for leather
  
I dressed her, and I ride her
Take pictures, beside her
California, Coast Byway
Grand Canyon, Lost Highway

We’ve seen it, and we did it
Life’s good cause, we’ve made it
This hair might, turn gray now 
Don’t matter, I’ll take it

  Old Road King, I don’t care
  But we’re Eastbound, and we’ll be there
(chorus)
(bridge)
  Can’t win for losin’
  So why should I stay
  Cause this highway’s callin’
  And we're on our wayayyy
(chorus)
(tag)
   Hell bent for leather

Hellbent For Leather

Upbeat homage to the Bakersfield sound. Story telling at it's finest, this dance-able radio gem pops and grooves with stellar musicianship and great vocal harmonies a la Gram Parsons and Emmylou Harris. Driving drums and bass. Jesse Aycock (Hard Working Americans, Elizabeth Cook, John Fullbright) on steel guitar.

04 - Bakersfield - V2 - 24b - 44k

Sometimes a person gets too caught up in an impossible dream and can't enjoy the world around them.

Piano Explorations [43]

My name is John Michael Tracy I write songs, jmtsongs.com , love photography, hunting, fishing and all of the outdoors. I was born on Jan. 11, 1957 in Elmira, NY.  I’m the oldest of six children, and my family lived, for most of my youth, in Athens, PA., which is right across the border from Upstate New York.   
	My parents had me take piano lessons when I was a kid, and when I was a teenager, I taught myself to play guitar.  Some friends and I had a country band, and we played local spots for a while.
	In my early twenties, I bought a 4-track recorder and enjoyed playing and recording songs that I liked from the Eagles, Jim Croce, Lobo, David Gates and Bread, Dan Fogelberg, etc.  I sent the recordings to my Grandfather, who had a band when he was young and performed all over upstate Pennsylvania and New York.  One day he asked me why I didn’t write my own songs.  The thought had never occurred to me, but once I’d considered it, it sounded like a great idea, and I told him that I bet I could do it.  
	After the first hundred songs or so, I called a few record companies to let them know that there was a new talent ready to take over the songwriting world, and they suggested I join NSAI first to help me hone my craft.  So I did.  In the mean time, I was sending quite a few of my songs to Washington to be copyrighted.
	A Publisher/Writer named Donn Hecht (most famous for co-writing Patsy Cline’s “Walkin’ After Midnight”) had someone working for him in Washington that noticed the number of songs I was copywriting.  Donn contacted me and asked me to send him some material. I did. He became my publisher, mentor and friend until his death in October 2002. He taught me more about songwriting and the business than anyone I’ve ever met.
	In the Spring of 2000, I wrote a song called “The South’ll Rise Again” and sent it to the nationally syndicated “The John Boy and Billy Big Show” as a gift, never imagining they’d ever do anything with it.  They were impressed enough to play it on the air, and it has been on their “Best Of” shows ever since.
	After the terrorist attacks of 9/11, I wrote a song called “Give’m Hell U.S.A.”  and  sent it to President George Bush and some of his staff.  Both President Bush and his Chief of Staff, Andrew Card, responded with really nice thank you notes. 
	I’m also a member of the local and National GTO clubs, own a 1970 Judge, and have written several “hot rod” songs that get regular play at many car shows and cruise-ins.
           My wife Kathy and I lived and worked in Nashville for a year and met many wonderful artists and songwriters who inspired and encouraged me.
	As the successful songwriter, friend and mentor, Jerry Vandiver says, “We write, because we have to”. The music needs to come out so we do what we love, and let it flow.
