Cariboo Moon
There is a place way up yonder we call the Cariboo
Where old cattle trails and fence rails lead me straight and true
As I’m making my way homeward singing an old time tune
Guided by the light of the Cariboo Moon
Cariboo Moon Shine down on me
Cariboo Moon You’re calling me
I’ve been gone far too long and now I’m coming home
Underneath the light of the Cariboo Moon
I Broke down in that old city trying to make my way
but there’s still dust on my stetson and I can smell the new cut hay
memories flash like summer storms making me think of you
Underneath the light of the cariboo moon
Cariboo Moon Shine down on me
Cariboo Moon You’re calling me
I’ve been gone far too long and now I’m coming home
Underneath the light of the Cariboo Moon
Guided by the light of the Cariboo Moon

I Ain’t Leaving
I love you you know it’s true
I told you long time ago I ain’t leaving
I ain’t leaving on my own
This old town feels oh so small
I can hear the highway call I ain’t leaving
I ain’t leaving on my own
I ain’t leaving without you babe
I ain’t going down that road
Unless you’re coming too babe.
Come on darling don’t you wanna go
Not much Money but we think alike
If I have to buy a tandem bike I ain’t leaving
I ain’t leaving on my own

Walking with you baby
talking all the while
Walking with you honey
gonna make you smile
While we are a walking
walking in the sand
our love will keep on shining
as we go hand in hand
While we are a talking
your voice can make my high
It’s got that ring of sweetness
Like angels in the sky
to be with you is heaven
I never wonder why
Of this I know for certain
I’ll love you till i die

Don’t Build Your House On My Bones
I’m calling out for Grace
Don't you know how long I’ve been here
Let the eagles fly and the ravens cry
And let us rest in peace
I want to hear the rising tide
Wash upon this sacred space
We're sorry for your troubles
But can you find yourself another place.
Don't build your house on my bones
Don't build your house on my bones
Don't build your house on my bones
Don't build your house on my bones
For thousands of years we lived here
And we chose this place to rest
I know how much the times have changed
But we're asking you for respect
Our spirits are calling out
Can't you hear them upon the wind
Our family is growing now
And we're saying to you my friend.
Don't build your house on our bones
Don't build your house on my bones
Don't build your house on our bones
Don't build your house on my bones

Breaking Even

BREAKING EVEN
They bought a piece of heaven
Far away from city living
Soon discovered it would take
All the strength they could be giving
They spent all one summer
Clearing land and picking rock
They mended fence and fixed the pump that watered all the stock
For years they stretched a dollar and sacrificed their freedom
All along the way they were only breaking even
They were keepers of the land and a dream that they believed in
The life they chose to live meant much more than breaking even
The fees they paid the government
For dudes to ride the trails
And they emptied out their pocket books
At all those auction sales
But each day was a promise to face the stormy weather
They always knew they’d make it through
If they rode on together
For years they stretched a dollar and sacrificed their freedom
All along the way they were only breaking even
They were keepers of the land and a dream that they believed in
The life they chose to live meant much more than breaking even
The cost of feed when hay was short
Took every cent they had
She had to take a job in town
When things got real bad
The cards were stacked against them
But they knew they’d never fold
The only peace they’d ever known
Was worth it’s weight in gold
For years they stretched a dollar and sacrificed their freedom
All along the way they were only breaking even
They were keepers of the land and a dream that they believed in
The life they chose to live meant much more than breaking even
The life they chose to live meant much more than breaking even

Learning How To Live
There’s a heavy feeling in my chest
That I’ve held there for years I guess
It’s the residue of a broken heart
When something in the present
Makes the past start over again
Now I don’t mean to mistreat you
Lately i’m trying to be true to me too
I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive
‘Cause this cowboy’s still learning how to live.
You got that far away look again
Someone hurt you but i don’t know when
Do you hold it in or let it out
You feel worn and tired and
Your face is covered in doubt
Now I don’t mean to mistreat you
Lately i’m trying to be true to me too
I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive
‘Cause this cowboy’s still learning how to live.
We’ve talked it over yes it took a while
But I’m starting to see the edge of a smile.....
Yes this cowboy’s still learning how to live.

I’ll Be There
When I shall leave this place
Where I have been for so long
Tho you won’t see my face
You may hear me in a song
I’ll be there with the morning sun streaming
I’ll be there when the ravens are screaming
I’ll be there in the wind Whispering in your ear my friend
I’ll be there
Cast off my lines and let go
Headed for places unknown
You've always been here for me
If you should feel all alone.
I’ll be there when the big clouds start raining
I’ll be there when the tall trees start swaying
I’ll be there in the sea See the waves and you’ll see me
I’ll be there I’ll be there
