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 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

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

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, 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

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

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

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

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

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.
