Tracy Lawrence is the seventh studio album by American country music artist of the same name. It was released on October 23, 2001 as his final album for Atlantic Records, after this album's release, Lawrence was dropped from Atlantic Records, due to the closure of Atlantic's Nashville division. Only two singles were released from this album: "Life Don't Have to Be So Hard" and "What a Memory", the latter of which failed to make Top 40 on the country charts. "That Was Us" was later recorded by Randy Travis on his 2004 album Passing Through.
