Hi, my name is Roy Harris and I am a songwriter from Texarkana, Texas. I have been very fortunate to hook up with some pretty talented musicians and writers to colab with on my songs. I am retired from the Navy and I love writing songs and the creative process it takes to produce a finished song. So come on in and sit a spell. Hope you enjoy our music. All of these songs are available for recording so if you are interested give me a shout. If the lady in the photo looks familiar, that's my buddy Marie Osmond.

Lyrics
The Old Home Place By Roy Harris and Charles Kirkland I drove by the old home place Searching for a friendly face From a time etched in my memory Where I grew up is now run down Ita019s on the lower side of town Just a shell of what it used to be All thata019s left is sticks and stones You couldna019t tell it was once a home To a happy and loving family That old oak tree in the back is gone Where we hung a tire swing on Now ita019s just an empty space with weeds Chorus The old home place will always be A special place for me Even though I couldna019t wait To go out and chase my dreams The years have passed and now I see My dreams have come and gone Ia019d give anything to go back To the place that I called home I found that you cana019t change the hand That life has dealt to you Ia019ve tried but the pleasures have been few When I get to feeling down And need a smile on my face My mind takes me back to the old home place The old home place will always be A special place for me Even though I couldna019t wait To go out and chase my dreams The years have passed and now I see My dreams have come and gone Ia019d give anything to go back To the place that I called home
