My name is James Ryce. I am a singer/songwriter. I use a ZOOM HD8CD digital recorder to record my demos in my basement. Most songs on my page are in one stage or another of development (a work in progress I like to say).

Lyrics
Family Tree © 2009 James Ryce I was born a rough boy and it wasn't hard to see That others all around here were never quite like me Fighting, drinking, stealing make up my history A few times got arrested while doing all three When the old man had enough he cut my branch off the family tree My brother was a hero of the local college scene My sister was a beauty a home coming queen The old man was a banker full of pride and self-esteem I think I saw him smiling on the day he cut me free Mama fought and cried trying to keep me in the family tree Well I guess they always felt I wouldn't amount to much My Mama's been the only one through all these years who ever stayed in touch I let it slip get tired of the fussing and all the fighting you see I took a trip down to Louisiana to find whats missing from me There's got to be a reason I fell from the family tree The day I met my Uncle he was walking out the door, Of a prison where they put him back in 1984 He never had no visitors nobody came but me The only day that I showed up is when they set him free We must have both fallen from that branch of the family tree I guess they always felt he wouldn't amount to much My Mama’s been the only one through all these years who ever stayed in touch He lets it slip get tired of the fussing and all the fighting you see You know the only time that I ever felt like family Is riding home on this train just him and me Coming back to town it'll be a sight to see We'll be shaking the foundation of that family tree I found the reason I fell from the Family Tree I found the reason I fell from the Family Tree I found the reason I fell from the Family Tree
