Yellowstone
Fire and ice collide Sawtooth Mountains rise in majesty Neath a frozen land of snow molten earth cries out from deep below An awesome beauty Canyons fall and waters stream born of the Creators dreams and fantasies And the river flows wild and free Crystals shimmer in the moonlight diamond dust falls silently Like an angel’s dream It's only where the water's flowing swiftly that the water runs free Through the Lamar Valley Faithful heralds Spring’s arrival wildlife celebrates renewed survival And the river flows wild and free Rivers of the Yellowstone grizzly wolf and bison roam On the Great Plateau Mollies Druids Agates Slough Lamar Canyon’s 832 We’ll not forget you Snow tracks glisten from the earth Halfpenny reveals the secrets of their birth And the river flows wild and free Yellowstone lies wrapped in a blanket of snow Eagles soar wolves greet the full moon’s glow Deep below the great bear slumbers And the river flows wild and free

Might Be Right
Wish that I could sing like a robin on a sunny spring morning Howl like a wolf pack greeting a full moon sky Raise my song like a grey tree frog in the evening I’d serenade you with a sweet melody so you’d never want to say goodbye So never say goodbye believe it when I say that I’m worth your time I know you don’t need me but I hope you’d agree We make a mighty fine rhythm and rhyme Won’t you think it through twice There’s a possibility it might be right A new trail’s awaiting and now is not the time for hesitating Wish that I was bigger than a bull moose scary as a wolverine Stronger than a grizzly no one had the heart to defy Driven like a Bighorn mean as any creature that you’ve ever seen I’d set you free from every enemy so they could never ever make you cry Wish that I was wiser than a hoot owl keener than your ravens Wily like coyote memory like a pachyderm sage Clever like a red fox cunning like a serpent in the Garden I could find a remedy and you and I would be Together ‘til the end of the age

Out of My Control
If you ask me what I want I would gladly tell you I would gladly tell you If you ask me what I need I would let you know I would let you know But you already know and it’s out of my control it’s out of my control If you tell me you’re afraid I will understand I will understand If you tell me you’re not strong enough I will hold your hand I will hold your hand But you’re still fighting on your own and it’s out of my control it’s out of my control It’s out of my control but I want you to know that I would never let go It’s out of my control which way the wind will blow But I would hold you close if you let go if you let go Now the ground is white with snow it’s April in Wisconsin and it’s so unpredictable But the sky is blue and you’re beautiful you know it’s true beautiful you Your love is wrapped around my soul and it’s out of my control

Kadoka
Sitting in Kadoka we were Rapid City bound Lightning dancing thunder crashing all around Hail and rain we’re out of the fast lane sitting in a parking lot And all we’ve got is this waiting, anticipating Oh Kadoka you really done me wrong Left me with this song and the bitter sweet memories Oh Kadoka got to keep moving on Leaving this prairie town on a western breeze see you around Sitting in Kadoka underneath a tin canopy Water’s rising but we got good company Changing courses dogs and horses held up in a petro station Longing for our destination and we’re waiting anticipating

South Dakota
There’s nothing left for me here in this one horse town, she’d say to me It’s really quite a wonder that I’m still hanging ‘round There’s another life for me on the other side and I do believe it’s time To get on down the road, ease my mind A restless heart is never satisfied But time is still something on her side She dreams of South Dakota and the cowgirl she once thought that she might be She sees St. Paul Minnesota in the summer time and the bright lights of that city The Gulf Coast keeps on beckoning and I reckon she might be there come December But she’ll always remember the wolf tracks in the snow And the golden eyes keep calling her home Calling her home Full moon o’er the tall grass prairie, sun sinking in the deep blue sea The stars shine on a Rocky Mountain stream Black Hills or Boundary Waters so many things Mother Earth has taught her The wild ones are her sons and her daughters She’ll capture each moment she won’t let it slip away She’ll make it all worth the price she’s paid

Murdo Girl
Murdo Girl it ain’t diamonds and pearls that make you shine Hope you don’t mind if I steal a piece of your world and try to make it mine Murdo Girl you smiled and I lost my soul it’s only natural So we should go wandering through the wild unkown and search for eyes of gold We’ve been spending our nights alone for so long and I could bring you more than a song You and I we’ll see lights in the sky shining through If you want Murdo Girl your times are changing won’t you let me turn the page with you To something new beautiful to fall into we’ll make our dreams come true

Sensible Girl
Got cheer in a bottle, got the stars falling from the sky Got the past right in front of me I still feel like I’m losing time Got you as my best friend, got life on a string They say that every story comes to an end That could be a beautiful thing so…
Hey, what would you say what would you say If I’d say be my baby be my baby what would you say Someone told me there’s a woman with reason Someone said that there’s a sensible girl Someone said for everything there’s a season And it’s a great big world so… Got cheer in a bottle got you as my best friend We’ve seen the sun set off of Sanibel Maybe you and I should do it again so… Got cheer in a bottle got you as my best friend

Ely Night
On an Ely night you can see forever bright stars shining over the shores of Shagewa Lake On an Ely night autumn leaves falling Golden Eyes calling and time just drifts away A lone wolf cries and shatters the silence offering the evidence The wild ones still survive On an Ely night arms round my lover the wonders discovered to an ancient serenade And the Northern Lights they dance in the wind and I breathe it all in And let the seasons change Winter’s arriving but there’s fire in her eyes keeping me warm inside Like the sun coming o’er the horizon

Back To The Garden
Some may say this world was made for man to dominate Fill his cup and drink it up before he fades away Make his mark on history rape the land and let it bleed Really don’t care gunna get their share before it’s time to leave There’s a reason every generation they’ve got a price to pay The road that those before them paved is leading them to their fate Kind of hard to turn it around when the water’s rising all around the town And they really don’t seem to recognize Devastation’s sound I want to go back to the Garden I want to see the Eden that was meant to be I want to know what the Sons of Adam lost and get it back again I want to believe they’ll all be running wild and free Had a vision of a Paradise created many moons ago Where the lion and the lamb lay side by side and Tree of Life still grows Where every man seemed to understand how to care for the earth and love the land One with creation’s medley safe in the Great Spirit’s hands

Fierce Green Fire
Bet you heard about the big bad wolf gunna blow your house down And eat the children of the town I got some news for you son that’s so far from the truth They might howl at the moon but they want nothing to do with you Heard the story about that little girl she went walking through the wood With her red riding hood It’s a sick sad story and a fairy tale You better get your facts straight and stop propagating hate They hunt to survive it’s not a macho drive It’s not the thrill of the kill it’s how they stay alive And it’s the light of understanding crushing ignorance and fear And the fierce green fire will never disappear Well get your guns get your hounds and you can shoot ‘em all down So there’s nothing left standing for a hundred miles around You got the right and the say just ask the NRA But your karma’s gunna get you and someday you’re gunna pay

The Vortex
It’s a crazy day nothing going her way Bet all her money on a one trick pony and now she’s gunna pay Going down down down through the vortex down down down It’s a crazy night nothing turning out quite right She road too far on a falling star and now she’s burning out bright Going down down down through the vortex down down down It’s a crazy life full of sorrow and strife Take another chance and we keep on dancing until we say goodbye And we go down down down through the vortex down down down

Epitaph
As I think of what I want to be when it comes to my recollection I could see quite possibly how my epitaph might read “He was a man of honesty integrity but not perfection He treasured each and every friend and he sure loved his family And every day he tried to find a way to make the world a better place” It’s the smile upon your face the warmth of her embrace It’s the guarantee that you and me we ain’t travelling alone It’s the simple things in life that make it all worth the fight It’s who we are that matters not who we own There was a man who held the Midas touch loved his possessions way too much Grew cold and fat believing that all that glittered was surely gold Across the world there lived a girl the poor and hungry were her precious pearls She walked the streets and washed the feet of all the filthy sick and old They both would leave their legacy but only one found her soul From what I see we have one life to live and the only thing that matters is the love we give Naked we’re conceived and naked we leave it’s a truth that we will never change So while the fruit is on the vine I’ll make the most of this precious time I am compelled to live it well stumbling through the joy and the pain And every day I’ll try to find a way to make the world a better place It’s the love that we were born to give the life that we were meant to live Give it all when we hear the call of every creature great and small Be the sun on the seed we’ve sown and melt every heart of stone It’s who we are that matters not who we own
