Tracy, Tracy B, DJ Tracy won’t you play me a song?
I heard you through the airwaves first when I was 18 driving through my college town.
We met when I was 19, you put us on the radio, you said you like our sound.
You were one of the nicest people I had ever known
She’s famous by the river, don’t blink or you might miss her, please turn up your radio.
You can call her if you’re lucky she might pick up and talk to you, ask you how your day is goin'.
She is one of the nicest people I have ever known

Ken met his Barbie, her real name is Beth; they cranked out two children, named Evan and Alex. They live in Waunakee, his family of three.
He only drinks the finest wine and drives a silver BMW
And Ken, yes he can. He can be the definition of “the man” just imagine his plan, to become the world’s best American.
Ken? Yes he can. He can be the definition of the “the man,” and I know he’s just that, if he’s anything like his sons.
I’ve been to his socials, they’re top of the line; we always seem to party like it’s 2009. I drank with him when I was 20, he must’ve thought I was of age.
He likes to quote Jim Gaffigan, so he’ll get out of knowing this song is wrapped in bacon.
Ken, yes he can…

I always seem to picture him riding across the countryside on his motorbike.
His name is Pat, he plays a mean slap, but I haven’t heard him play in a while.
He fixes shit on the regular, he’s like a nerd but he’s got the style of a fashionphile.
We ‘ve played in bands together, hopped bars together, got drunk together and it never could have been any better I know the weather was ever in our favor.
So here we are now, separated by borders, but I know I’ll see him soon because I always always always.
He’s got a heart, like I’ve never seen before. This man could love a woman and she’d never want more. He’s had it broken and mended and broken again, when I said he fixes shit this might be one exception. But don’t get me wrong; when I sing this song, I know all of the ladies will keep coming right along. So get in line ladies, you don’t have time maybe, you’ll catch him before he rides into the sun.
Patty Z, he and me have history, I love him for his mystery the way he seems so carefree.

Gabby Jean Elizabeth Novy, you don’t really even know me yet.
I met you when you were just a baby, probably in 2010.
Be good to your mom, as you grow through life. She’s been on her best for you.
And when you’re 16, don’t push her aside. Love her, whatever you do.
Strong is the queen of the sea, Gabrielle Novy.
Believe me, it’s deep in your legacy. I’ve got a little in me.
Won’t you make your family proud, by being the best you can?
Because Gabby this world can be a handful
Gabby Jean Elizabeth Novy, sing along with me now.
You can dance, you can play, feel it in your bones now.
So sing this song, all throughout your life. This can be a song for you.
And when you’re 35, and you’ve got a kids of your own, I could write their songs too.

Evan Anderson. He’s the one, who gets it done. Man on a run, won’t be outdone. Evan Anderson. He’s a sax man, he’s quite the fine sax man.

He was the original mouse in the pocket, for him it’s never stopping, he’s always happy rockin’. A move out west; I miss him, I confess, but at least he’s proving he’s the best at backin’ marijuana.
Alex Toast, no ego, there he goes
He bought my CD in 2010; I could not comprehend this newfangled friend. We kept on the down until late in Feb, then after that our change wasn’t dead yet. You bet, we were co-leading vox the Toast with the Most and the piano that spoke. But that’s a distant memory you’ll have to find an mp3, ohhh

Spend your whole life creating things, lots of things, various things
Frank’s the kinda guy that inspires to be, a man for history, forever its memory
(Frank... Frank Sommers)
Fathered six daughters and married one wife, he preaches equality no matter the life- to me he’s just a screen, but someday maybe we’ll meet
He puts himself out there, for everyone to see. Music and movies, radio and tv- to me he’s just a screen, but someday maybe we’ll meet

All it took was ten days from the first date ‘til you got engaged
Many might call it a stage- a nice first impression surely to fade
But when those days turned to years, the cynics could all disappear
You’d proven the theory of love at first sight; so nice to know you’re alright
Cynthia summers, Cynthia springs, Cynthia winters and autumns you’re his everything… to him you’re an angel, to him you’re saint, Frank sent me a list of the words that describe you, the subject line read “she’s all the good stuff.”
Not much time did go by before your twinkles they all came to life; six little girls appeared to the world, with a cool mom and dad by their sides
Someday your girls will get old, you’ll wish you could’ve put time on hold
But don’t worry, it all seems okay, your kids have the best DNA.
I see love at that age, and wonder how the same days could never get gray
And when I turn to a page like this song’s old refrain, I look forward to those days

This is a story about a boy and girl, relaxing in a hammock trading kisses like the whole world
Is watching while they find out what makes life feel nice
Pumping Micahel Franti and Spearhead as the music sweeps ‘em up from underneath like a lyrical bed
The world is watching while they find out what makes life feel nice
Like a movie I have seen before. This romantic song has been song a million times again and again. He waits to place his order just a little bit longer than he usually does if she isn't behind the counter. Taking all the time to soak up her smile, waiting in wonder
This is a story about a boy and girl, relaxing in a hammock trading kisses like the whole world
Is watching while they find out what makes life feel nice
Pumping Trevor Hall’s “The Lime Tree” allowing for the song to sweep them up like a live dream
The world is watching while they find out what makes life feel nice
Like the Wisconsin way, the first date played out at a pizza place, with a tall glass of beer and a big round pie, and seven hours of conversation
Sit and watch the stars, on a dock in the marsh where the lights are all so far away, you might have to stay, lockin' lips until the light of day
