It ain't over till it's over
It ain't over till you're done
It ain't over till it's over
So put them boots back on
Pack your bags and go a walking
Put your worries out the door
Just look up and quit your talking
You ain't going back there no more
Chorus
Every day is such a bonus
Ain't no time for looking back
It's up to you this onus
To keep your life on track
Chorus
You know just what they say
When dealing with your strife
About today being the first day
of the rest of your life
Chorus
So put your thoughts behind you
Check out your piece of mind
You only have this moment
To leave them way behind

So Many Things
03:00
|
|||
So many things we should have done
So many songs we should have sung
So many answers we're looking for
You never know what life has in store
The world we live in is a much smaller place
Travelling so fast is the whole human race
What used to take years now take days
Hours in to minutes how we've changed our ways
The lost can be found secrets unfold
Well it happened to me with stories untold
I feel my life now is much more complete
With my brother Andy and friends yet to meet
So many things we should have done
So many songs we should have sung
So many answers we're looking for
You never know what life has in store
Technology is such an amazing thing
It has magical powers for us to bring
Folks together that we should have known
Wey look at Facebook my how we have grown
So let's rejoice in what we have
Use it for good and not for bad
It seems that this new friendship of mine will blossom and flourish with the passing of time
So many things we should have done
So many songs we should have sung
So many answers we're looking for
You never know what life has in store

Motorcycle Madness

Well it seemed to me like a good idea
Do some travelling around this hemisphere
Visit friend
It ain't over till it's over
It ain't over till it's done
It ain't over till it's over
So put them boots back on
Pack your bags and go a walking
Throw your troubles out the door
Lift your head and quit your talking
we ain't going back there no more
It ain't over till it's over
It ain't over till it's done
It ain't over till it's over
So put them boots back on
Every day is such a bonus,
Ain't no use in looking back
It's up to you this onus
To keep your life on track
It ain't over till it's over
It ain't over till it's done
It ain't over till it's over
So put them boots back on
Remember what they say
When dealing with your strife
That today is the first day
Of the rest of your life cause
It ain't over till it's over
It ain't over till it's done
It ain't over till it's over
So put them boots back on
Leave your worries behind you,
check out your peace of mind
You only have this moment
To leave them all behind
It ain't over till it's over
It ain't over till it's done
It ain't over till it's over
So put them boots back on
t ain't over till it's over
It ain't over till it's done
It ain't over till it's over
So put them boots back on s, see some nice country
On a motorcycle that would just suit me
So off I go buy some brand new leathers
Get some rain gear for all kinds of weather
Take a course to know what to do in a fix
And get the licence that says number six
Then it's off to the bike shop where it's all chrome and steel
My eyes are watering for those brand new wheels
I think I got a pretty good deal
That's when things they got kind of real
Put her in gear, hear her roar
Feel the wind, hang on for sure
Eight hundred cc's with power to spare
On a bike that would take you most anywhere
When I hit one ten my eyers got blurred
My fingers got numb I was tense for sure
All those things that could go wrong
Made me think twice and write this song
Put her in gear, hear her roar
Feel the wind, hang on for sure
Eight hundred cc's with power to spare
on a bike that would take you most anywhere
Now the bike has gone and hence the song
Seemed like a good idea but didn't last long
I guess that crisis just ain't happening
Instead of saving gas I'm just gonna sing this song
Put her in gear, hear her roar
Feel the wind, hang on for sure
Eight hundred cc's with power to spare
on a bike that would take you most anywhere
Put her in gear, hear her roar
Feel the wind, hang on for sure
Eight hundred cc's with power to spare
on a bike that would take you most anywhere

Going away Blues
03:36
|
|||
I got my honey, got my home
Got good friends, I'm not alone
I got my car, I can go away
But it's nice here, I'd rather stay
I don't want to go I don't want to go away I'd rather stay
There's fancy jet planes and cool hotels
Sunny beaches I know so well
So many rules to get away
Forget air travel, I'd rather stay
I like it here I'd rather stay at home
No I don't want to go, I don't want to go away
Yeah leave me at home that's where I like to play
I don't need the pain of packing my bags and going away
I wanna stay.
So many roads that I could drive
But will I make it home alive
There's so much nice scenery
But I can't take it home with me
I like it here I just want to stay at home
No I don't want to go, I don't want to go away
Yeah leave me at home that's where I like to play
I don't need the pain of packing my bags and going away
I wanna stay.
Got my things got my place
Got good food, I got some space
Got my piano and fiddle too
And I like being here with you
I got all I want I just want to stay at home
Even alone.
No I don't want to go, I don't want to go away
(No baby I just want to stay)
Yeah leave me at home that's where I like to play
I don't need the pain of packing my bags and going away
I wanna stay.
No I don't want to go, I don't want to go away
Yeah leave me at home that's where I like to play
I don't need the pain of packing my bags and going away
I don't need the pain of packing my bags and going away .

Splashing through the Waves
With a sail on a piece of plastic
Some folks think we're crazy
Others think it's slapstick
But we're having fun when we're on the run
And the wind and the waves are free
Just can't get enough of that fine old stuff
The elements and me.
Well we're off to the water and it's just beginning
It's all very new but we'll soon be winning
The board is shaky and the sail is low
The wind starts blowing and over I go
Splashing through the Waves
With a sail on a piece of plastic
Some folks think we're crazy
Others think it's slapstick
But we're having fun when we're on the run
And the wind and the waves are free
Just can't get enough of that fine old stuff
The elements and me.
It's blowing force four and the leech is tight
The board starts going and it all feels right
I get airborne and the blood starts rushing
All around me the waters are gushing
Splashing through the Waves
With a sail on a piece of plastic
Some folks think we're crazy
Others think it's slapstick
But we're having fun when we're on the run
And the wind and the waves are free
Just can't get enough of that fine old stuff
The elements and me.
Well it's blowing force nine and it's storm sail time
Water starts and harness lines
Riding the waves and surfing the line
Oh just let me try one more time
Splashing through the Waves
With a sail on a piece of plastic
Some folks think we're crazy
Others think it's slapstick
But we're having fun when we're on the run
And the wind and the waves are free
Just can't get enough of that fine old stuff
The elements and me.

Sloping and Hoping
02:50
|
|||
Sloping, hoping groping for wind
Buying, flying and trimming the wings
Fitting clipping stripping for speed
Shouting, pouting filling the need
Cause we like to soar up with the birds
Streak through the sky with a sound that blurs
DS around the backside of the slope
BS when we can't but we live in hope
Servos receivers fins and hooks
Carbon fibre planes built with looks
Sun soaked slopes thermals and lift
Watching them smoke and playing the shifts
Cause we like to soar up with the birds
Streak through the sky with a sound that blurs
DS around the backside of the slope
BS when we can't but we live in hope
Aero tow, scale ships, winches and zooms
Mouldies, oldies, foamies and rooms
Full of excitement new stuff and tools
Competition sail planes racing like fools
Cause we like to soar up with the birds
Streak through the sky with a sound that blurs
DS around the backside of the slope
BS when we can't but we live in hope
Cause we like to soar up with the birds
Streak through the sky with a sound that blurs
DS around the backside of the slope
BS when we can't but we live in hope

Watching the Seasons
03:32
|
|||
Chinook winds ease the winter's pain
Then it's thirty below and cold again
But our hearts are warm our spirits strong
Energy is good though the nights are long
Watching the seasons on Alberta's plains
Wait five minutes and it will change
So many shades of white and blue
These are the things I'd like to share with you
It's springtime it all turns green
Get read for summer for living the dream
Time for seeding and tilling the land
With mother nature's helping hand
Watching the seasons on Alberta's plains
Wait five minutes and it will change
So many shades of white and blue
These are the things I'd like to share with you
It's time for festivals and rodeos
Barbecues and country strolls
The crops look good but we have our doubt's
Cause the rain and hail can wipe them out
Watching the seasons on Alberta's plains
Wait five minutes and it will change
So many shades of white and blue
These are the things I'd like to share with you
It's fall again and harvest time
Extending the summer with colours like wine
Then the snow we start over again
Oh please help me with this refrain
Watching the seasons on Alberta's plains
Wait five minutes and it will change
So many shades of white and blue
These are the things I'd like to share with you
Oh watching the seasons on Alberta's plains
Wait five minutes and it will change
So many shades of white and blue
These are the things I'd like to share with you

Alberta Pipeline Blues
02:53
|
|||
What is Alberta gonna do
We got a case of the pipeline blues
BC don't want our bitumen
But this is a game we need to win
We want to make the world a better place
We understand the needs of the human race
Our track record here is pretty good
Shouldn't BC clean up it's neighbourhood
Oh pipeline blues pipeline blues
Who's gonna win and who's gonna lose
We all miss out just watch the news
Cause Albertas got a case of those pipeline blues
Drive in your car, fly in a plane
So many bi-products are you going insane
We're not there yet, the world still needs oil
We got it here why buy from foreign soil
Horgan says he wants to go green
It's hypocrisy like you've never seen
Let him ride his bicycle to Ottawa
I'm sure Trudeau will greet hime there
Oh pipeline blues pipeline blues
Who's gonna win and who's gonna lose
We all miss out just watch the news
Cause Albertas got a case of those pipeline blues
Trudeau had to get in on the act
We now own a pipeline yes this is a fact
The question is will it ever get done
Well if it does I guess Alberta won
Oh pipeline blues pipeline blues
Who's gonna win and who's gonna lose
We all miss out just watch the news
Cause Albertas got a case of those pipeline blues

Sugar Ration Blues
02:06
|
|||
Well I need me a hit around six or seven
Just to keep me going till around eleven
Or else I'm gonna get those sugar ration blues
Coffee sweets cakes or treats
Something to keep me up on my feet
Or I'm gonna get those sugar ration blues
I don't need to look at stuff that's good for me
Even though I know I should
I need to stay away with all that it takes
Cause sleeping ain't no way to keep your head in shape
Cookies candies mama's cake
When is the next time she's gonna bake
Or I'm gonna get those sugar ration blues
I don't need to look at stuff that's good for me
Even though I know I should
I need to stay away with all that it takes
Cause sleeping ain't no way to keep your head in shape
Cookies candies mama's cake
When is the next time she's gonna bake
Or I'm gonna get those sugar ration blues

This little house how fine you are
Sitting there beneath the stars
You've been there for a long long time
How happy that you are mine
You sit there though you're old and gray
You provide us with a place to stay
Oh how I love to find my way
To our little prairie getaway
The seasons you've seen them all
Through rain and snow and summer squalls
You don't complain because you're so steadfast
That's cause you were built to last
You sit there though you're old and gray
You provide us with a place to stay
Oh how I love to find my way
To our little prairie getaway
I't's so good that you are there
For giving us the chance to share
Good times with friends and all
The little house that answers the call
You sit there though you're old and gray
You provide us with a place to stay
Oh how I love to find my way
To our little prairie getaway
Yes to our little prairie getaway

Early Detection
01:22
|
|||
Come on all you young men listen now to what I say
Once over forty better check that PSA
And don't let the test they do the one that's digital
Bother you because it's always good to know you're doing well
Cause early detection is what it's all about
Leave it alone and they'll want to take it out
There's all kinds of cures but you won't like it there
“Better to stay proactive” are the words I'd like to share
So what can you do to make sure that things don't go bad
Take a look at what you eat and the lifestyle that you have
Stay fit and well in all you do don't walk in others shoes
Don't let those pesky toxins get to close to you
Cause early detection is what it's all about
Leave it alone and they'll want to take it out
There's all kinds of cures but you won't like it there
“Better to stay proactive” are the words I'd like to share

A Song for Dad
03:13
|
|||
We oft forget about this life we own
We just accept it till we have grown
I'd like to thank those from wence I came
I'm my own person those I bear your name
I know you really didn't want to go
I wish that you'd been there to see me grow
I'd love to have heard you laugh out loud
Dad I hope I've grown up to make you proud
All these years I've felt you by my side
In dreams I've felt that you were still alive
Your legacy for me still lingers on
I am so proud to call myself your son
I know you really didn't want to go
I wish that you'd been there to see me grow
I'd love to have heard you laugh out loud
Dad I hope I've grown up to make you proud
Thanks again for the gift of life
Thanks for being there through all the strife
This song's to let you know that I'm okay
Life goes on in such wondrous ways
I know you really didn't want to go
I wish that you'd been there to see me grow
I'd love to have heard you laugh out loud
Dad I hope I've grown up to make you proud
Yes I hope I've grown up to make you proud.
