1. An Ordinary Life © 2015
Wood's stacked high, work is done
Smells so good, suppers on
With hot tea there to greet me
Warms my heart so completely
So completely
CHORUS
It's just another little slice
Of an ordinary life
The simple joy
That everyday life can bring
Snow drifts down,
on a quiet night
We're safe and warm,
by the wood stove tonight
We let the world spin on by
While we're lost in the firelight
Firelight
*Chorus
How've you been? How was your day?
Was it just, just like yesterday?
Take your time, and drink it in
There's extraordinary times within
This ordinary life
Ordinary life
Ordinary life
Ordinary life
Ordinary life

Back In The Woods © 2015
Running in a maze
All my working days
Had its cost
It took some time
To finally find
I was lost
There's a country boy buried in me
Wanting to break free
Kept telling me, I need to be
Back in the woods
Chorus
Back in the woods
Where I can breathe
Something in the trees
Sets this country boy free
Back in the woods
Surrounded by green
Back in the woods
Where I found me
This old world can spin you around
Twist you in a knot
But once I'm under that canopy
That don't mean a lot
It's the smell of white pine
In the air
It's the quiet that brings me peace
It's calling me, and I want to be
Back in the woods
*Chorus
Bridge:
When my sole is wearing thin
And I'm weary from that climb
I just tighten up my laces
Take one step at a time
*Chorus
I traded concrete
And city streets
For a wooded glen
I shed my shiny shoes
For some hiking boots
And this silly grin
There's more to life
Than this work-a-day world
This rat don't race
Gonna take some time
Let my mind unwind
Back in the woods
*Chorus
Back in the woods
Where I found me

Come On Sunshine © 2016
Chorus
Come on sunshine
Warm my soul
Come on rain
Wash away my pain
Gentle breeze
Blow away my blues
Gonna walk this highway
Till I find an end
Get off this train
Try to start again
I lost my baby
My best friend
*Chorus
You know these blues
Have taken hold
And this heartache
I've come to know
I pray for healing
But I can't let go
*Chorus
Come on sunshine
Warm my soul
Come on rain
Wash away my pain
Gentle breeze
Blow away my blues
Gentle breeze
Blow away my blues
Gentle breeze
Take these blues away

Hold On © 2015
We walked together
Hand in hand
She the protector
Of her little man
My first day of school
That street looked so wide
She urged me on
Holding back the tear in her eye
Chorus
Hold on, hold on..hold on, hold on
Remember, here I am
Hold on, hold on..hold on, hold on
Remember, here I am
I made a call
Late one night
Hurting inside
I was leaving my wife
She calmed me down
Said “It'll be all right”
Her hand was there
To see me through that night
*Chorus
Late in the fall
She left her home
Little by little
Her memories had gone
I held her hand
As I said my goodbye
I forced up a smile
Holding back the tear in my eye
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on
Remember, here I am
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on
Remember, here I am
Hold on, hold on
Remember, here I am

Let's Go Walking © 2010
I went walking, down by the brook
Had my baby, on my arm
Oh what a day
We just walked our blues away
Oh what a day
We just walked our blues away
Leaves were rustling
The birds did sing
Brook was babbling
It's usual thing
When I look in her eyes
I just forget everything
Oh what a day
We just walked our blues away
Let's stop a moment
Enjoy the sights
Let's stop talking, ooh delights
When she looks at me
Oh my the possibilities
Oh what a day
We just walked our blues away
Never seems to be the time
For walking
Every little thing just gets
In our way
But when the sun is shining
Like today-ay
We trade our cares for open air and
Walk our blues away
Sun is shinning, through the trees
They are whispering, about you and me
No one else around
What a day for walking
Oh what a day
We just walked our blues away
Verse 1
Let's go walking
Let's go walking
Let's go walking

The Dory © 2017
I still have the Dory
My uncle built for me
In a child's imagination
I could sail it to the sea
Though the mast is now broken
And the sails badly stained
The love he put in it
Still remains
Chorus
Sail away, sail away
Sail away
In a dream…I
Sail away
With every plank that was laid
Takes me closer to that place
Sail away, sail away, sail away
James sailed his Dory
Off the coast of Newfoundland
A self reliant fisherman
He could build anything with his hands
When the cod all were taken
He sailed a cab through city streets
But he never lost his dreams
Of the sea
*Chorus
In a chair by the harbor
An old man looks to the sea
His body has failed him
So he clings to his memories
When I think about my uncle
And what he passed on to me
I remember why I kept
That old Dory
*Chorus
Sail away, sail away, sail away
Sail away

These Old Shoes © 2014
Sometimes I think its time
To settle down
No more roaming, town to town
People would know my name
Where I live and from where I came
And when I pass you by
We could just say “Hi, How ya doin”
Sometimes I think it's time
To settle down
Chorus
But these old shoes have to roam
Taking me back to my country roads
To places I've never been
Something around the bend
Keeps calling me
These old shoes, are taking me home
Sometimes I dream
Of a piece of land
In that valley, where I camp
Let my roots take hold
I would build a home
With my hands
Sometimes I wish I had
That piece of land
*Chorus
Sometimes this lonesome life
Gets to me
And my heart echoes this empty beat
And by the campfire light
I think about a wife, a family
Sometimes this lonesome life
Gets to me
*Chorus
These old shoes, are taking me home

Fooled Again © 2013
I was back on the farm
It was a sunny day
I was sitting on the back porch
Strumming away
A memory so clear
Like it happened today
My dad came out
And began to play
Chorus
It's a dream I have
Now and then
Me and my dad
Playing songs again
But when I wake, I know
I've been fooled again
We'd play a while
Then we’d talk a bit
How's the weather
The wife and kids
Just another laid-back
Summer's day
Nothing but time
Coming our way
*Chorus
Bridge
But in that time, I'm home again
I'm with you, one more time again
It seems so real, then it all sinks in
But I don't mind..being fooled again
What I remember most
Were his gentle ways
How when he spoke
He had something to say
And the way he was made me who I am
My only hope is I'm half that man
*Chorus
*Bridge
*Chorus
But I don't mind....

Wasted Time © 2013
When the sun came up this morning
My head began to play
A different note
In the song I wrote
Along my way
A cup of Joe, a kiss goodbye
It’s off to work again
But that melody
Kept running through my head
With a sad refrain
Chorus
Time, precious time
You can't change a song
That's been sung
Time, precious time
Just make the best
Of what's to come
But, I wish I hadn't
Wasted my time, on me
*Chorus
Looking back it's clear
I'd change a few things there
Give more time
Find a better rhyme
Tell a friend I care
I'll put aside all I wish I'd done
I've carried that too long
Just make a pact, to not look back
And work on my new song
*Chorus
No I wish I hadn't
Wasted my time, on me
Wasted time
It's a brand new day…
It's a brand new day…
It's a brand new day…

My Fountain Of Youth © 2012
I’m never gonna grow up
I’m never gonna grow old
I’m never gonna grow up
I’m never gonna grow old
Chorus
Just, just as long, as
I’ve got you – ou – ou – ou – ou
I’ve got You – ou – ou – ou – ou
I’ve got you, mmm – mmm…….
My fountain of youth, mmm – mmm
It don’t matter
How many years have passed
This graying hair
Well, I don’t care
These aching bones
Don’t bother me none
And these blurring eyes
Well, I’ll get by
*Chorus
People think I’m crazy
Cause I’m acting like a kid
Skipping down the street
Out of my head
Laughing at the sky
Howling at the moon
They don’t know
The secret I hold
No, they, they don’t know
*Chorus
I’m never gonna grow up
I’m never gonna grow old
I’m never gonna grow up
I’m never gonna grow old
*Chorus
My fountain of youth, mmm – mmm
My fountain of youth, mmm – mmm
My fountain of youth, mmm – mmm
My fountain of youth

Strong As The Rock © 2009
Chorus
Born to a life in Newfoundland
Hard times and sea
Hard work and poverty
Strong as the rock was she
Strong as the rock was she
She married herself a sailor man
During the war
She packed her bags
And followed him
Her new life began
Her new life began
*Chorus
She worked in a mill
For twenty years
Raised up four strong boys
Somehow they made ends meet
They made a family
They made a family
*Chorus
Through the pain and
Tears and strife
She stood so tall
Blessed with such a full life
She's loved by one and all,
She's loved by one and all
*Chorus
She's all about family
She's all about friends, you see
She's all about family
She's all about friends, you see
Strong as the rock was she
Strong as the rock was she
