Laughter 03:11
lyrics

The sooner you learn The sooner you burn You can only die once now If you're not concerned I can't take a step without falling down In a puddle of water I just might drown I show up early but end up late I'll keep spinning round and round Laughter is all that I can do When the dam explodes and the water flows I can't keep afloat for you Faster I keep running past the truth But I won't look back, no I'm done with that I'll keep spinning round and round for you You can't run away The longer you stay Got only once chance now To make your play I can't take a step without falling down In a puddle of water I just might drown I show up early but end up late I'll keep spinning round and round Laughter is all that I can do When the dam explodes and the water flows I can't keep afloat for you Faster I keep running past the truth But I won't look back, no I'm done with that I'll keep spinning round and round for you And if I'm standing tall Just when that curtain calls Thru the insanity I'll finally find the rest of me

My Lisa loves red roses I'm her Valentine She knows that she is mine She tells me all the time My Lisa loves to wear diamonds Smell like summertime And just like the sun she's shining She's my silver lining And no broken roads are gonna tear us apart The years that we hold are who we are Oh...My Lisa loves me Oh...My Lisa loves me And the beating of her heart keeps time in every song Oh...My Lisa loves me My Lisa takes off her sandals Runs on the beach Pulling on my hand all night She's holding me so tight We stop to kiss by the ocean Pushed by the waves We keep our devotion true I'd do anything for you And no broken roads are gonna tear us apart The years that we hold are who we are Oh...My Lisa loves me Oh...My Lisa loves me And the beating of her heart keeps time in every song Oh...My Lisa loves me Days come and they go Some easy some hard Each morning life shows A brand new start And no broken roads are gonna tear us apart The years that we hold are who we are Oh...My Lisa loves me Oh...My Lisa loves me And the beating of her heart keeps time in every song Oh...My Lisa loves me

Still Got Soul 03:29
lyrics

I still remember in '81 I saw that Lucy in the sky and I was done So now I dust off my old 45s Here I am like I was 10 playing records thru the night It's been a long time since I rock n' roll Got no faith but I still got soul Might of been lost along the way But I'm not afraid of yesterday I know that I'm not the only one Who forgot somehow that we were born to run This world is changing, but I don't mind I get a little high, close my eyes, and travel back in time It's been a long time since I rock n' roll Got no faith but I still got soul Might have been lost along the way But I'm not afraid of yesterday I know it's just a shot away A shot away I still remember when I was young I saw that Lucy in the sky and I was done

Call Me Wild 03:47

Cold knockin' on the outside door I stand ready to settle the score You can't change tomorrow to face today...yeah And I'm not the type to run away You push I push back harder Won't stop I can go much farther I'll take on all that is coming down No matter what you say now I fight just like a tiger One match, I'll strike a fire I'm not afraid to burn it down Burn it down CHORUS Call me wild Call me wild Call me wild All these scars are just a part of me Call me wild Call me wild Call me wild And you can't take that away from me Run fast I keep running faster I know The things I'm coming after You can't hide behind destiny It's written in stone now Things might just be getting clearer Watch out, cuz I'll be getting nearer Unchained and I have broken free Broken free CHORUS Cold knockin' on the outside door I stand here ready to settle the score I won't wait anymore You can't change tomorrow to face today And I'm not the type to run away i'll keep the wolves at bay...yeah CHORUS

No More Waiting 03:57
lyrics
buy track
Cross my heart and hope to die For all the right reasons Got to stop wasting my time So no more waiting...waiting on you The closing light, I've got to run Before it starts raining You can stay, stay if you want But no more waiting...waiting on you CHORUS No more waiting on a miracle No more waiting on just the right time I always thought that I needed you To grab my dreams & make them all come true Packed my bags, I'm taking flight Got one last ticket for you to come and be by my side In the sky sun made of gold I can see all the clouds that are fighting below. CHORUS Can't keep falling behind Walking the line Running in circles Won't be chained to the ground Chained to this town Reaching for people on the path that I choose Nothing to lose Letting them watch me go Letting them watch me go CHORUS

Sweet Smile 03:20

I want to take to the bottle When I turn on the damn TV Gun shots, won't stop Watching WWIII in HD Plane crash, mad dash, for the cash Keep the people intrigued With your two cents You just spent on nonsense Do you even see me? It seems to me like it's all one grand design Gonna close my eyes I hear its bliss to be blind CHORUS Sweet Smile on my TV screen What have you done to me? Sweet Smile on my TV screen Is this reality? You say the sky is falling everywhere I feel fine but I guess I'm scared Sweet Smile on my TV screen Whom I supposed to be? Fake news, how to choose Makes the truth more wrong than right Talking heads on a 24 Hr. satellite Being told how to live by a rich celebrity Big star, big car, being stalked by the folks at TMZ It seems to me like it's all one grand design Gonna close my eyes I hear it's bliss to be blind CHORUS BRIDGE/BREAKDOWN The bulls are running And the bombs are coming Movie stars talking Don't give a damn But headlines sell All the secrets we tell Maybe I should be the president Ooh ooh aah aah All the breaking news no I just can't take it Ooh ooh aah aah Gonna turn it off go out and live

Savannah Nights 03:48
lyrics

Old woman down by the river Sells palm crosses, takes what you give her Under the lantern My silver dollar glows I hear the trolley bells ringin' On top of cobblestone clangin' Dark shadows haunt the night She tries to tell me where they go CHORUS Savannah nights Tempted by your slow seduction Give it all but still take somethin' Savannah nights Beauty in the candlelight Getting lost within Savannah nights Walking thru gardens of grave stones A thousand whispers in the wind blow The Spanish moss keep the secrets of the dead And thru the wars and the passion In dignified southern fashion Their stories hold the charm too honest to forget CHORUS Before the dawn I walk alone Wave to the freighter ships I wonder where they go And if they'd let me come along Would I find a place like this? That holds me tight

Shake It 03:11

First time I saw her Standing at the bar She looked so good, so fine Just like a superstar Boys all around her Trying to get her name Paid them no mind Cuz she's about to change the game and.. CHORUS Shake it Shake that thing that your momma gave ya Shake it Yeah I like the way that you're misbehavin' Shake it Shake that thing baby do what you do Shake it Girl I can't take my eyes off of you I catch her staring Don't know what to say My heart is pounding As she starts to walk my way...and she says "Them boys are boring, I'm looking for a man" She gets real close Turns around and takes my hand, so we can... CHORUS The night is over It's time to go...I ask her "When can I see you?" And she says..." I'll let you know" CHORUS

Hopeful 03:26

Kinda strange All of the things I see today So much change Might be hard but I'll find a way But I won't Lay it down and wait to die There's still time To find water when the desert's dry That is why CHORUS I remain hopeful I remain, tho' tears they fall like rain As the years pass by I have made it thru the pain I remain hopeful Well you know Sometimes I wait all day for rain When wind blows I hear the clouds cry out my name The sun breaks But first you got to stand the storm What it takes Is to believe tomorrow comes Yeah it comes CHORUS There are times that it don't feel right Those moments that are hard to find When I'm lost in a crowd all alone I remind myself I'm far from home But you won't hear me complain Cuz that part of me still remains That compels me to say Don't be afraid No don't be afraid CHORUS

Raven 04:32

Are you ready? Ready to walk thru that door Are you ready? Look up at that raven Tell him nevermore Nevermore can you keep me Keep me in these four walls Heaven knows you can't beat me I've got two feet and I'm gonna walk Are you ready? To first fall then seek Down where the fever of hell Flushes the cheek Out the window the moon mocks Stone cold face of a clock Those shades of suffering won't beat me I've got two feet and I'm gonna walk CHORUS Ohhh...those demons they pull but angels push on thru the night Step out forward Might not always get it right But I can't stay here I'm so tired, I'm tired of this fight Your death won't drag me down Are you ready? Ready to walk out that door Are you ready? Look up at the raven Tell him nevermore Thru the sound of the sirens I rearrange my fate And tho' the light is blinding I'll make my way onto heavens gate CHORUS

Wrapping up the presents I'm putting up the tree Got the fire going Got you next to me Hanging up the lights now But there's one more thing CHORUS Poinsettia Red Poinsettia Red Out on the doorstep Don't you forget It just ain't Christmas without Poinsettia Red Hanging up the stockings Got 'em 1, 2, 3 Putting out the cookies For him to see But he won't be coming Unless we do one more thing CHORUS Early in the morning Snow is in the air All the children waking Coming down the stairs Looks like Santa made it Toys are everywhere CHORUS

about

MICHAEL TRACY will release his new album STILL GOT SOUL in stores and online November 17, 2017. This latest effort is his most ambitious yet, representing an artist who has clearly found his voice and a "lane" to call his own.

His previous label experiences not being a perfect fit, MICHAEL TRACY was inspired to start his own independent label, TW Music Group, to support his new release, and set out to find the right producer that could capture the sound and style he had spent years cultivating, but had yet to realize on a record. In late 2015 Michael would find what he was looking for with Los Angeles producers Bob Marlette (Lynyrd Skynyrd, Alice Cooper) and Sahaj Ticotin (Ra). He traveled to LA and recorded three songs with them that would appear on his early-2016 release Love And Worries,a short collection of previously unreleased material. From those original sessions, a bond emerged between Michael and producer Sahaj Ticotin, and a shared belief that together they could create great records. They got together again in late 2016, co-writing an original Holiday tune that Michael had been working on called “Poinsettia Red.”

Immediately in 2017 they began plotting STILL GOT SOUL, Michael’s next full-length album. All songs on this stellar new release were written by MICHAEL TRACY and Sahaj Ticotin, and produced, recorded, and engineered by Sahaj in April and May 2017. Featuring mastering by Paul Logus of PLX Mastering and album artwork from Jason Taylor, Scott Hart, and Shannin Washburn, STILL GOT SOUL is an instant classic for every fan’s collection.
