Lyrics---It sure ain't Country

It sure ain’t Country

J. Michael Tracy male vocal/uptempo

I don’t know just where I’ve been

But somethin strange is---happenen

Seems to me like Country’s--disappeared

--We thought it was here to stay

--But somehow it just slipped away

I do believe that it’s been gone for years

(climb)

Been searchin these radio stations too long

And can’t find one real-- Country song

(chorus)

Don’t know what it is but it sure ain’t Country

It’s too dang pop or it’s way too funky

--Country songs ain’t what they used to be

If old Hank could just see Nashville now

------He’d give em hell I guarantee

Don’t know what that is-but it sure ain’t Country to me

(verse)

Well we let em die—and it’s a sin

But good ol days’ll be----back again

With songs that we all love it ain’t no lie

And we’ll all feel like kids you know

When we’re listenen to the--- radio

Them songs that made us dance and made us cry

(climb)

(chorus)

(bridge)

Those songs that we were raised on--are songs they--gotta play

Please let me hear “Your Cheatin Heart” or take me down that old “Lost Highway”

(inst.verse)

(chorus)

(tag)

Don’t know what that is but it sure ain’t Country to me

Files coming soon.

Lyrics----Think I'll stay right here

Think I’ll stay right here

J. Michael Tracy male vocal/uptempo

Lonely places I have been

Thought I’d found you, again and again

Always ended up alone

But then you took my hand

And said “I’ve always know you”

(chorus)

Think I’ll stay right here with you

These days of wanderin are through—yeah

I need you every night, and every day

In everything I do

Think I’ll stay right here

(verse)

In my far from perfect world

Tried to find the perfect girl—yeah

You know I looked but did not see

You were always there

Right in front of me—so

(chorus)

(bridge)

I just hope you can forgive me

But I’ve been blind you see

And if you’ll stay with me—I

(chorus)

(chorus)

Files coming soon.

Lyrics----Three Sheets To The Wind

Three sheets to the wind

J. Michael Tracy male/female vocal/uptempo

(woman)

You come home smellin like you haven’t warshed in 20 years

A wiskey bottle in one hand, in you arm a case of beer (woman)

You stand there for a moment, and contemplate the door

You take one step and like a tree, fall face first to the floor

(chorus) (man)

“Sombody Help Me!” Well I’m three sheets to the wind, just call my next of kin

Please take this bottle and knock me over the head

When she finds out the score, she’ll kill me that’s for shore

Cause I’m through my friend, I’m three sheets to the wind

(verse) (woman)

Well I’m tired of draggin you to bed and cleanin up the floor

I’m tired of waitin up all night so’s I can hear you snore

This ain’t how life’s supposed to be, your chips I’m cashin in

You come home drinkin one more time and I’ma gonna do you in

(bridge) (man)

“Now What Am I Gonna Do?” Well somewhere one drink turned into twelve

I just don’t remember how

And as soon as she finds out by God

She’s gonna have a cow!

(chorus)

Cause I’m three sheets to the wind, just call my next of kin (man)

----------------------------------------------------“Just call his next of kin” (woman)

Please take this bottle and knock me over the head

---------------------------------------------------“I’ll knock him over the head”

When she finds out the score, she’ll kill me that’s for shore

---------------------------------------------------“I’ll kill him that’s for shore”

Cause I’m through my friend, I’m three sheets to the wind

“Cause he’s through my friend he’s three sheets to the wind”

When she finds out the score, she’ll kill me that’s for shore

---------------------------------------------------“I’ll kill him that’s for shore”

Cause I’m through my friend, I’m three sheets to the wind

“Cause he’s through my friend, he’s three sheets to the wind”

Cause I’m through my friend, I’m three sheets to the wind

“Cause he’s through my friend, he’s three sheets to the wind”

Files coming soon.

Lyrics----Carolina Country Boy

Carolina Country Boy

J. Michael Tracy male vocal/rockin uptempo

Knocked the seeds from my shoes, shook the dust out of my hair

I said “Momma I know that you want me to stay

But the world’s callin out to me, from everywhere

I’m goin’ back to the city where the country music plays

(climb)

Gonna play my guitar, in a famous old bar

Buy myself a 55 Chevrolet

(chorus)

Well I was only 18 when I left the farm behind

With sand in my shoes, stars in my eyes, positively cool in my own mind

I was ready to rock, ready to roll, a bonefide real McCoy

I’m a slow talkin’, fast walkin’, hard drivin’, no jivin’

Carolina country boy

(verse)

I got my first real gig at the Cherryville Country Bar

Soon the word got out, bout the music I played

And I packed em in like pennies in a mason jar

I could tell by their eyes that they’d heard me loud and clear

(climb)

They wouldn’t be denied, were electrified

I’m gonna knock Nashville right on it’s ear

(bridge)

Well the future is bright and now it’s up to me

Gonna go for the gold, that’s how it’s, gotta be

I’ll never give up it’s the American way

I’m gonna be a genuine star someday

(chorus)

(1/2 chorus)
