Wheels Like a Chevrolet 03:42
lyrics

WHEELS LIKE A CHEVROLET If I had wheels like a Chevrolet I would roll on down that big highway And I wouldn't stop 'til I was by your side If I had wheels, I would ride ride, ride What would mama say if she could see The way we kissed behind the backyard tree She'd say those boys they love from dusk to dawn And when the sun comes up they're up and gone If wishes were money, I would buy you anything And if hopes were golden, I would wear your ring If you hadn't gone to where the jobs are good If you'd written like you said you would Chorus When love is new, it's a raging fire You cannot wait to feel your lover's touch But when love is gone, it's a funeral pyre You miss them so much Chorus If I had wheels, I would ride ride, ride

WHISTLE GONE 03:36
lyrics

WHISTLE GONE Look at that little town, look at that railroad track One day the train left, and it never came back And town hasn't been the same since then It's just dusty streets and remembering when Chorus You just keep carrying on Nothing more lonesome than a whistle when it's gone Saddest thing you'll ever come upon Nothing more lonesome than a whistle when it's gone Now when I was young, I'd talk to the old Métis My dad's hired men living in the coulees Once they were the kings of the plains and beyond But they lost it all now that the buffalo's gone Chorus And I didn't see it coming. How was I to know? You walked into the room and said "it's time for me to go" And you didn't want to work at it, you didn't want to stay You had some golden future calling you away Chorus Chorus There's nothing more lonesome than a whistle when it's gone

CAOY70900028 - LOVE IS A TRUCK 04:31
lyrics

Love is a truck, love is a wall It’ll run you down or it’s what you gotta get over It’s a throw of the dice, it’s a telephone call When it comes to love there is no four leaf clover Chorus And if it didn’t feel so sweet when it was good You’d never take such chances And if it always went the way you thought it should You wouldn’t have to walk these streets at night looking for romances You wouldn’t walk these streets looking for romances Love is a storm love is a train It blows in and it’s gone with a moan Love is a tear, love is rain It will give you away or chill you to the bone Chorus But when you feel like this You know you’ve got to get through it And when there’s nothing you can do I t’s so hard not to do it Love is a door, love is snow It will slam you shut or leave you shivering all night in your car Love is a rock, love is miles to go It will block your path or send you down the road too far Chorus

WIND THAT LAUGHS 03:10
lyrics
buy track
WIND THAT LAUGHS It's the wind that laughs because it's so free And the moon that's always rising And it's an anxious heart that passes up love And is left to analyzing So come with me and we'll walk through the park Leave the rich in their cars to worry 'Cause love is there for the poor of purse Let's take our time and not hurry Chorus So hold on to me like a man who has all Don't think of what we might lack 'Cause even the wealthiest person out there Has got the same sun on their back And the way we make love all afternoon There are some that would find that surprising But it's the wind that laughs because it's so free And the moon that's always rising

WINTER Connie Kaldor @SOCAN, It has been a long winter A things often went wrong winter A you must be strong winter One I’d care not to repeat But it had you in it , It has you in it , It had you in it And you helped make it sweet And it has been a cold winter A losing all your hold winter A lies and secrets told winter One I’d care not to repeat BUt it had you in it It had you in it It had you in it And you helped make it sweet And I don’t want to think Of how it might have been All the heartache and the uphill climb Without you on which to lean Cause it has been white winter A phone calls in the night winter You better hold on Tight winter One I’d Care not to repeat But it had you in it, Warm and wondrous you in it I had you in it and you helped make it sweet It had you in it It had you in it It had you in it And you helped make it sweet.

NEVER BEEN TO IRELAND 03:18
lyrics

NEVER BEEN TO IRELAND, C KALDOR @SOCAN word of mouth music I’ve never been to Ireland but I feel I know it well. I’ve heard the pain and laughter in the stories that they tell Though I have no blood that calls to me from Galway or Kildaire I’ve never been to Ireland but I sometimes wish I’m there Like when I hear the songs that kept them going on the long ride over Songs of hopes an dreams and laughing streams And four leaf clover Songs of leaving dear old Ma a crying on the stair No I’ve never been to Ireland but sometimes wish I’m there No Ive never been to Ireland but it must be quite the place For the ones who leave seem to grieve and long to see her face And the lilt and the brogue and the saint and the rogue are Are saying have a pint to share I’ve never been to Ireland but I sometime wish I’m there Like when the fiddle starts playing the jigs and the reels And your feet drag you onto the floor And you dance til you Drink and you drink til you sing and Sing til you can’t sing no more And you raise up a toast to the ones you love most And treat every man as your brother Far away from the streets with the bombs and the blood And the reasons they kill one another. But when I hear that gentle longing In some lonely Irish Aire Ive never been to Ireland but I sometimes wish I’m there. No ive never been to Ireland but I sometimes wish I’m there.

LIAR 02:54
lyrics

LIAR You told me that you loved me, but you were lying You told me that you really loved me, but you were lying You were lying with somebody new Whispering to her that your heart is true How long 'til she finds out that you are just lying? What do you think, that the girls are crazy? What do you think, that we'll never find out? Do you think love makes us hazy? And we'll never see what you're about? You told me that you loved me, you were lying You swore by the great moon above me, but you were lying You were lying with somebody new Whispering to her that your heart is true How long 'til she finds out that you are just lying? 'Cause you'll lie to my face any chance you get You lied to any good looking woman you met You lied about the size of the fish you caught Y ou lied about all the friends you haven't got You lied in the morning and you lied at night You lied when you said that you would treat me right You lied about your "hmm hmm hmm" You lied about your great big faithful heart Liar liar liar! Pants on fire! You told me that you loved me, you were lying You swore by the great moon above me, but you were lying You were lying with somebody new Whispering to her that your heart is true How long 'til she finds out that you are just lying? How long 'til she finds out that you are just lying?

GEORGIAN BAY 03:46
lyrics

GEORGIAN BAY Down on the Bay, the sun has a way Of stealin' a piece of your mind And you end up spending your time on a tan Or in the shade of a Georgian Pine And you sit and you pity all the folks in the city Saying, "how can they live that way? Wouldn't they rather be livin' it up On the shores of the Georgian Bay?" Chorus Where you can throw away time Just for the pleasure of wastin' it Fry up a fresh caught fish Just for the pleasure of tastin' it And you can't complain if it starts to rain 'Cause the sun shines most of the time Why wait 'til you retire to sit by the fire Sippin' on a glass of wine? 'Cause you can lie out on the docks, swim around the rocks Let the world slip away That's the kind of hold that the sunset gold Has on you in the Georgian Bay Chorus Chorus Down on the Bay, the sun has a way Of stealin' a piece of your mind And you end up spending your time on a tan Or in the shade of a Georgian Pine And you sit and you pity all the folks in the city Saying, "how can they live that way? Wouldn't they rather be livin' it up On the shores of the Georgian Bay?" Yes, wouldn't they rather be livin' it up On the shores of the Georgian Bay?

ALL ABOUT LOVE It's all about love, all about love It's all about love All about love, all about love It's all about love Every morning when I wake up and I feel you lying there I hear the sound of little feet running down the stairs I can't believe I got to be so lucky in this way I can't believe I don't mind getting up early every day Chorus the old man and his puppy and the lady with her cat the girl who is wearing her boyfriend's hat the hand that you grab when you're learning how to walk the friend that comes over when she knows you need to talk Chorus every generous heart, in every helping hand anyone who takes the time to try and understand It can move a mountain, it can make a heart true God knows it's the way I feel about you It's all about love, all about love It's all about love All about love, all about love It's all about love It's all about love, all about love All about love It's all about love, all about love It's all about love Chorus

JUMP OVER THE MOON 04:12
lyrics

JUMP OVER THE MOON Love makes little sense, it seems of where it hits or why One day you're crawling on the ground the next day you can fly And from the moment that I met you I felt the stars fall from the sky But I am on the outside waiting to join the game Lately, I find all I can think of is your name And I wonder do you like me? Could you feel the same? 'Cause every time you talk to me I feel my knees go weak And every time you smile I haven't breath to speak Chorus And if you told me that you loved me I'd turn December into June And if you told me that you loved me I would jump over the moon And that is why I've asked you out today I've practiced in the mirror all the things I want to say But here you sit and the things I feel get in the way I love the way you laugh, the way your hair's like music when you walk I love the things you say, I love the way your hands move when you talk Chorus But you don't, you just button up your coat You leave me with the words I want to say caught in my throat No you don't, you turn around and leave You leave me looking foolish with this heart upon my sleeve But in my dreams, we're always dancing to some slow romantic tune And in my dreams, you say "I love you" and I, I jump so high that I jump over the moon I jump over the moon I jump over the moon I jump over the moon

LIFE HAS A MIND OF IT'S OWN 03:35
lyrics

LIFE HAS A MIND OF ITS OWN You justify all like a public defender Heart like a butter knife delicate tender You hear the echoes of words that you send her All of the chances you’ve blown Oh no you have been mistaken Your bridges are burning or seriously shaken If this is a dream you would like to awaken But life has a mind of its own Life has a mind of its own Chorus Just when you think you’ve it all figured out Something roars in and it turns you about And there’s nothing to do but go hoarse as you shout Life has a mind of its own Life has a mind of its own Why is life not the white cliffs of Dover Instead of lessons learned over and over I’m standing in sand but I’m dreaming of clover Some paths are just overgrown So you think you will coast then you find its up hill You’re sure that you won’t then you find that you will Life can surprise you still Life has a mind of its own Life has a mind of it’s own Chorus Is this how love starts when you finally give up? Eyes that meet like a saucer and cup And the next thing you’re acting like some little pup Each time there’s a ring on the phone Best keep your eyes open and keep your friends near Be sure of all of the things you hold dear You can try to predict it but one thing is clear Life has a mind of its own Chorus

YOUR LOVE 03:36
lyrics

YOUR LOVE Your love's a good love, a harbour in a stormy sea Your love is perfect for me It's wild as desire, strong like some mighty tree Your love is perfect for me 'Cause some love's a fire, it's ashes in the mail Some love's a liar and destined to fail And some love's a promise that's broken and gone Some love just gets you from midnight to dawn But your love is fierce and kind The one I thought I'd never find Your love is perfect for me You are the heart that will not roam Take my hand and lead me home Your love is perfect for me 'Cause some loves are only mirrors and smoke Some loves start out and they're already broke And some loves are too fast, some are just a fight Some loves hang on when you know they're not right But your love is my love and as far as I can see Your love is perfect for me Your love is my love and as far as I can see Your love is perfect for me It's a crossroads, a twist of fate, definitely worth the wait Your love is perfect for me
