Playful Dog 04:31
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 03:38
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!
