An original song.

 Written at the height of my disillusionment. True story. 

Lyrics----It's not me

  

It’s not me

J. Michael Tracy male vocal/midtempo


---Don’t know what this feelin’ that’s come over me is

---But it’s opened up my eyes

--All these years I’ve lived in darkness-

---Believin’ lies


-----So now I’ve given up what I believed in

---And there’s nothin’ left to say

---Can’t see how I’m worth anything-

To anyone this way

(chorus)

Preacher said when I was just a little boy

--“God is lookin’ out for thee”

He might be lookin’ out for someone-I know 

But it’s not me

(verse)

--What I was and what I am and what I hoped to be I

---Don’t think he’ll ever know

---Gave him everything I had to give but now it’s time to go

(chorus)

It’s not me

( ½ inst. verse)

(chorus)

Preacher told us that the time-would-come

------When everyone would know

-------Of places that we’d love to be 

-------But where we really go

----Somethin’ told me way-back-then, when he said

--“ God is lookin’ out for thee”

He might be lookin’ out for someone-I know

But it’s not me

(tag)

It’s not me

Files coming soon.

An original song.

You know it's a wondrous occasion, how could we go wrong.

Lyrics----Maybe

  

Maybe 

J. Michael Tracy male vocal/uptempo


What can we say of the future

Except that it’s hard to see

Some people say—we can’t make it change

----What will be will be


It’s lyin' out there before us

Just like the spokes of a wheel

Travel in any direction

And-do-what-ev-er-our-hearts-feel-cause

(chorus)

Maybe we’ll live forever

Or maybe we’ll die too soon

Maybe we’ll find us some land by the beach

Or build us a house on the Moon

Maybe we’ll follow that arrow

That shows us the way to go

Or maybe we’ll dance on the stage of life

And maybe we’ll steal the show

(verse)

As long as we stay together

The things that we build can be strong

Cause baby we’re made for each other

How could we go wrong


Ya know it’s a wondrous occasion

Just thinkin bout—where we’ll go

But we have so much—to see and to do

And-there’s-so-much-that-we-don’t-know-cause

(chorus)

What can we say of the future

Except that it’s hard to see

But maybe we’ll try—and we’ll make it change

Yeah maybe

She don't know what she's missin'!

Lyrics----Too bad, so sad

  

Too Bad, So Sad

J. Michael Tracy male vocal/uptempo


I, know, I’m, intelligent

You, say, that, I’m not

I don’t have half the brains

That you’ve got


Found, this, job, at Busy Bee

I ain’t no fool

Cause I’ve been workin’, here

Since high school---it’s truuuuue

(chorus)

Too bad, so sad, you had, your chance with me

Ya chose, to go, and so, you don’t know just 

What, you could, have had, so sad, too bad

(verse)

One, day, you’ll, get serious

And that, will, be, the day

When you’ll be beggin’, me

Ain’t no way


Cause I’ll, go, on, to better things

I got lots to do

And I might be, movin’, out

Of Momma’s house-----toooooooo

(chorus)

(bridge)

I saw you sing last night, on the TV screen

But they’re just words, that you don’t mean

(chorus)

(tag)

Too bad

Too bad

Too bad

"The Judge", they said would never lose and you they'd never tame!

The Judge 

J. Michael Tracy male/uptempo


You had the baddest, meanest, fastest muscle car in town

When any new boy showed his face, The Judge would take em down

Waitin’ on the sidelines was clearly not your style

Slammin’ gears and suckin’ gas out on the quarter mile


An Orbit Orange beauty, on Rally IIs she stood

A Ram Air 4 power plant tucked underneath the hood

Posi. rear, spoiler wing with 4 speed on the floor

A Magnum Competition Cam, power brakes and more


You ran her mostly for the thrill, you said “the need for speed”

But we all know you racin’ boys are just a different breed

The passion, pride and power, the joy of standin’ tall

Never once believin’, someday you’re gonna fall

(chorus)

 You were happy when you were at one with your machine

The muscle car they call The Judge could always take em clean

You had to win no matter what, you must defend your name

“The Judge” you said, “would never loose” and you they’d never tame

(verse)

The Cuda came from nowhere that dark, hot August night

It’s stickers boasted “Hemi” above the marker lights

Pistol Grip and Shaker Scoop, the paint was To-rid Red

The driver took one look at you and said “The Judge is dead”


A flag was dropped, the tires burned, we heard the thunder roar

The beasts were runnin’ neck and neck, we couldn’t guess the score


A runnin’ deer, the two cars swerved, the Devil had this ride

We heard the crash and saw the flames, the night the legend died

(bridge & ½ inst. verse)

You told your story in flames and glory

(end chorus)

Pushin’ life up to the edge of madness everyday

Tryin’ just to prove yourself a man along the way

Livin’ fast and runnin’ hard a legend you became

Once you got behind the wheel you never were the same

You were happy when you were at one with your machine

The muscle car they call The Judge could always take em clean

You had to win no matter what you must defend your name

“The Judge” you said “ would never loose” and you they’d never tame

An original song.

  

---Our fathers came----Our mothers too

And gave their lives for those they—they never knew

We have the chance to be what they could-not-be

-Their sacrifices gave us our—our liberty

Lyrics----Livin' here in America

  

Livin’ here in America

J. Michael Tracy male vocal/uptempo


On wings of birds-----on ships of dreams

---To a place they’d heard of-----but never seen


They knew that they could build a life--and life was good

--In a place where freedom is un-der-stood


---Our fathers came----Our mothers too

And gave their lives for those they—they never knew


We have the chance to be what they could-not-be

-Their sacrifices gave us our—our liberty

(chorus)

Livin here in America-----It’s where I want to be

Cause it’s the land where freedom rings----from sea to shi-nin-sea


Just try to take our American dream----you’ll have to go through me


Livin here in America---America the free

(verse)

We save the world-------try to do what’s right

---We never hoard our food or—or start a fight


---And this you know will always-al-ways-be

As long as we believe in li-ber-ty

(chorus)

(inst. verse)

(chorus)

(tag)

Just try and take out American dream-----you’ll have to go through me

Livin here in America-----America the free-----The freeeeeeeeee

An original song.

No anchor holdin', no mobile phone

Lyrics----No more wasted time

  

No more wasted time 

J. Michael Tracy & Rick Lockwood male-female vocal/uptempo


You did me wrong on my time

You don’t belong on my time

You stayed too long on my time I wasn’t strong

But now I’m


Gonna change the weather

Gonna change it for the better

We won’t be together---

(chorus)

And there’s no more wasted time, 

don’t bother callin


No more wasted time, 

I’ve got a new home


Down in the Islands, out on the water

No anchor holdin, no mobile phone

(verse)

I can build a life on my time

I can breathe the air on my time

No one there to talk on my dime, gotta live

And there’s no time wastin

(bridge)

Maybe someday there’ll be another one

But till then I’m gonna have some fun

And there’s no more wasted time

(1/2 inst. chorus)

(2nd half chorus)

(refrain)

No more wasted time

He built it, and the rest is history.

Lyrics----Daddy's Diamond

  

Daddy’s Diamond

Tommy Murrah & J. Michael Tracy


My Daddy---was the coach--of an all white little league team

Cause in the 60’s---in the South- there was only white ones


‘Til a shy black boy came searchin'---for his field of dreams

And the first black crossed the line—on Daddy’s Diamond

(chorus)

Daddy never chose his players by their skin

He didn’t---see the color—he saw the kid

He loved kids—and Daddy was a kind one

And everybody was welcome to play—on Daddy’s Diamond

(verse)

The other coaches pitched a fit-but Daddy showed the way

And it makes me proud that he was not the blind one


Cause he took a stand—and now a thousand kids can play

On a hundred fields that rose—from Daddy’s Diamond

(chorus)

(bridge)

It’s been fourty years since Daddy opened up that door

Now any kid can cross that line--black and white, rich and poor cause

(chorus)

(tag)

Yes he loved kids---and Daddy was a kind one

And everybody was welcome to play—on Daddy’s Diamond
