Verse 1 In my granddad’s boat house There’s a history of the lake A time before we took, all that we could take. There’s paddles and preservers, rods and old duck calls But the things that I remember were the lures on the wall Chorus We can’t fish this lake no more, they all rolled up on shore. It looks like it’s last call, for the Lures on the wall Verse 2 He’d tell stories of the days When fish were caught by hand As big as could be brought in, by just one man. The kind that used to roam the lakes and jump up waterfalls But Granddad said he caught them with the lures on the wall Chorus We can’t fish this lake no more, they all rolled up on shore. It looks like it’s last call, for the Lures on the wall. Verse 3 Days Before he passed away I had the chance to ask where the fish had gone, why they left no tracks Pollution and the greed of man and minds that are so small That’s why it’s last call for the lures on the wall Last chorus We can’t fish this lake no more, They all rolled up on shore Trawlers dragging ocean floors Is something I ain’t for Toxic waste and sewage dumps We flush into Great Lakes Is it gonna be last call, For the Lures on the wall. Or Is The writing on the wall, ya’ll ya’ll ya’ll It looks like it’s last call For the lures on the wall

Verse 1 I was born to roam I was born to be alone Something hit me deep inside Nothing could shake me off that ride Chorus Except for you (Repeat 4 x) Verse2 Nobody knows the things I've done Nobody’s been down roads I've run Once I got down on my knees Where I found out, nobody rides for free Chorus Except for you (Repeat 4 x) Guitar Solo Verse 3 You were the one that brought me down You put my feet back on the ground You pulled me out of that murky haze No one else could show me Grace Chorus Except for you (Repeat)

Verse 1 Missy was his first love Met when they were young Teenage romance moments She Showed him how to love Verse 2 Talked and shared a while Made a long term plan Lover that he dreamed of She had found a man Chorus They were pretty good together They'd walk around the shifting sands He'd pick her up in any weather She held his heart right in her hand Verse 3 They spent their time together She had to catch that plane Late night jet from Memphis He’s snowed in again Chorus Bridge Heartache followed hard years She played love like a game Flashing lights and all night parties He just wanted her to stay ...the same Solo- Verse 4 The simple life was over No love kept her home His heart was hers forever She was meant to roam Chorus They were pretty good together They'd walk around the shifting sands He'd pick her up in any weather She held his heart right in her hand

Verse 1 There’s been a lot of clickin’ and hashtagging around this town About the kind of man, that keeps a woman down Mr. I’m here to tell you there’s a brand new action plan It’s called “Don’t Be An Asshole Man”! Chorus Don’t be an asshole, man The women already understand Exactly What it means to be dealt the losing hand, Don’t be an Asshole, man! Verse 2 Did you ever hear the saying “ keep yer hands to yerself” Most women have to say it, by the time they’re twelve. If yer part of this problem that I’m talkin about Then Don’t be an asshole, man! Chorus [see above] Solo Verse 3 It’s time for men to listen to what the women say. Ole Clem’s gonna be unpopular, with the Redneck fray, I don’t really give a shit if my politics offend, just Don’t be an asshole, man!” Chorus Don’t be an asshole, man! The women already understand. Exactly What it means to be dealt the losing hand, Don’t be an Asshole, man!

Verse 1 Pushing rows of dirt, through the night in a tractor cab We always said we’d make it, or make the best of what we had It’s been hard work at night, and longer through the day But baby and I we did it, we had to find a way Chorus It’s date night in the combine Cutting corn by the tractor lights It’s date night in the combine Worth more than all the fights We’ve had our fun, working all night long Verse 2 The bank don’t care a bit, about how hard we work They don’t listen to excuses, about the weather or poor dirt Just make sure the money, is sitting in the vault Or they’ll make sure the loans, all go into default Chorus It’s date night in the combine Cutting corn by the tractor lights It’s date night in the combine Worth more than all the fights We’ve had our fun, working all night long Bridge It wasn’t a good Year, for the crops out in the field The wheat blew down, the soy burnt up and the corn it didn’t yield It wasn’t hard to stay in love, even when the barn burned down I knew I’d still be holding you, many years from now Chorus It’s date night in the combine Cutting corn by the tractor lights It’s date night in the combine Worth more than all the fights We’ve had our fun, working all night long

Verse 1 I’ve never been much for riding’ the range Chasing them doggies for minimum-wage But I do, I like to hear them Moo I never liked the iron, I’m not a Brandin’ man In fact I lost a few on another man’s land But I do, I like to hear them Moo Chorus Yodel- odel , odel, odel Laydel, aydel, aydel, aydel Moooo X2 Verse 2 There’s awful lot of cattle and they sound the same Some are in the canyon, others on the range But I do, I love to hear them Moo Their hides are all different and some have horns And they all bawl like babies when they’re born Yes I do, I like to hear them Moo Chorus Yodel- odel , odel, odel Laydel, aydel, aydel, aydel Moooo X2 Bridge Every time I see a Longhorn steer It makes me miss you and I shed a tear, Every time I see that longhorn steer It makes me miss you and I crack a beer, For You, I love to hear them Moo Verse 3 The truth of the matter is I don’t eat meat I’d rather eat tofu and pickled beets But I do, I love to hear them moo I guess I’m not a cowboy, it’s plain to see My Lasso lets the cattle run free But I do, I love to hear them Moo Chorus Yodel- odel , odel, odel Laydel, aydel, aydel, aydel Moooo X3

I'm Canadian 04:44
Verse 1 Rednecks love old time country While Sitting round their town Drinking Whiskey, playing cards Basically getting down They love their wives, love their trucks Love their way of life And when they make America Great We’ll know they got it right! Chorus I’m so proud to be Canadian BC Mountain High Golden waves of wheat Endless Arctic Sky Canadian Shield, friends that are real That’s what I’m looking fer I’m Canadian, that’s fer sure Verse 2 We don’t talk about politics sitting around the barn Me and my buddies get lit up We usually pick guitars Telling tall tales of things we did Gets us all riled up Head out to the hunting camp Stretch us out some guts Chorus I’m so proud to be Canadian BC Mountain High Golden waves of wheat Endless Arctic Sky Canadian Shield, friends that are real That’s what I’m looking fer I’m Canadian, that’s fer sure Verse 3 I’ve heard Country music came from way down south I’d prolly like to differ Some say I’ve got a. Big mouth 👄 I’d kindly like to point ya’ll to a couple Canadian Bands Like Wilf Carter, Hank Snow & Shania’s got some fans! Chorus Verse 4 Don’t think I meant to forget Quebec And our Maritime friends And The folks I hang out with Would like to make amends Fer so many things we know were wrong From the Present to the past, If we’re looking fer truth or reconciled ways It’s The First Nations we should ask Chorus I’m so proud to be Canadian BC Mountain High Golden waves of wheat Endless Arctic Sky Canadian Shield, friends that are real That’s what I’m looking fer I’m Canadian, that’s fer sure
