Playful Dog
words and music by Andy Tracy
copyright 2022 Sound Sleep Music
I want this song to be simple
But I always seem to find
That there's just so much happening
In my mind
For a second I try to clear it
But then up comes another thought
Sometimes a playful dog just
Can't be caught
Float downstream, float downstream
Not the same as blow off steam
Life can be such a dream
But nothing's really as it seems
Clear your mind; look and see
Is this how you want to be?
Clear your mind; then hear me
We're all from the same damn tree
If you never stop and listen
If you never really care
What is your whole point of
Being there?
For a moment I get downhearted
But then my spirits rise
I remember words that I've heard and
They are wise
Float downstream, float downstream
Not the same as blow off steam
Life can be such a dream
But nothing's really as it seems
Clear your mind; look and see
Is this how you want to be?
Clear your mind; then hear me
We're all from the same damn tree
Playful dog comes runnin' runnin' runnin' runnin'

Riptide
words and music by Andy Tracy
copyright 2022 Sound Sleep Music
It's nice to have some time
Away from the world for a while
It's nice to look at you again
And again see your smile
Why can't every day
Be an extended trip
Isn't there another way
One more generic quip
Don't get caught in the riptide
And go quickly out to sea
I guess, at least, if we're lost on the way
It'd still be you and me
Don't you stumble off that backcountry trail
Unless you're ready for the wild
Life can be full of dangers and snares
So you had better be ready, my child
I'd like to leave the world behind
Such a world of frustration
I just want to follow my dream
As I go from nation to nation
I've spent too much time waiting
There's been too much time wasted
I want to spend my time creating
And every experience tasted
Don't get caught in the riptide
And go quickly out to sea
I guess, at least, if we're lost on the way
It'd still be you and me
Don't you stumble off that backcountry trail
Unless you're ready for the wild
Life can be full of dangers and snares
So you had better be ready, my child
I'm ready and don't try to hold me
I'm ready to finally take flight
I'm already holding myself back
I know that just ain't right
What's holding me is expectation
What's holding me might be lack of will
Will I still endure all the hardships
Just for the sake of the thrill
Don't get caught in the riptide
And go quickly out to sea
I guess, at least, if we're lost on the way
It'd still be you and me
Don't you stumble off that backcountry trail
Unless you're ready for the wild
Life can be full of dangers and snares
So you had better be ready, my child

Road Trip (Life As Adventure)
words and music by Andy Tracy
copyright 2022 Sound Sleep Music
Road Trip Road Trip Road Trip
Let's hop in the car
Even if we travel by day
It's still by the light of a star
Road Trip Road Trip Road Trip
And I'm wondering where we are
Started out as a simple day drive
How'd we manage to travel this far?
I can't wait til travel season's upon us
I can't wait til there's money to spend
I can't wait for my life as adventure
I can't wait for the sameness to end
Here in this town there's a thing we say
"No matter what the cost and we're on our way"
And so we hit the road or we hit the trail
Take to the skies or just sweetly sail
Just a couple hours, that's no problem
Just a few more days, I don't mind
Gonna head there quickly out on the highway
Off the beaten path is also fine
Here in this town there's a thing we say
"No matter what the cost and we're on our way"
And so we hit the road or we hit the trail
Take to the skies or just sweetly sail
Road Trip Road Trip Road Trip
Let's hop in the car
Even if we travel by day
It's still by the light of a star
Road Trip Road Trip Road Trip
And I'm wondering where we are
Started out as a simple day drive
How'd we manage to travel this far?
Every year there's a thing that I look forward
Every time you'll see me leave the ground
You know that I dream the same dream as you
Don't wanna stop, I wanna tour the world around
Here in this town there's a thing we say
"No matter what the cost and we're on our way"
And so we hit the road or we hit the trail
Take to the skies or just sweetly sail
Road Trip Road Trip Road Trip
Let's hop in the car
Even if we travel by day
It's still by the light of a star
Road Trip Road Trip Road Trip
And I'm wondering where we are
Started out as a simple day drive
How'd we manage to travel this far?

Break Free
words and music by Andy Tracy
copyright 2022 Sound Sleep Music
When I wish that I had more time in the day
I feel like I feel it all slip away
I wish that I could sit here for a moment or more
But it's time for me to be walking out the door
When I see my kids for thirty minutes, hey
And that's all the time that is left in the day
I wish that there could be just a little more time
Spending life too busy, that is the real crime
Gotta break that cycle
Gotta break free
Gotta get off the treadmill
Too fast a life ain't the life for me!
When my guitar sits in the corner at night
But I know that's what makes me feel alright
I wish that there was more time left for our dreams
But everything is monetized, it seems
Gotta break that cycle
Gotta break free
Gotta get off the treadmill
Too fast a life ain't the life for me!
Gotta break that cycle
Gotta break free
Gotta get off the treadmill
Too fast a life ain't the life for me!
