LEGACY GHOST
VERSE
Lived up north in the land of green
didn’t know who I’d grow up to be
thought a lot about what’s in store,
always looking for something more.
Turned 18, moved out west,
family thought it best
money’s tight, times are hard
drove a lot of miles to a new front yard.
CHORUS:
Hey life, do me right
keep me seeing the better light
take me high, higher than most
let me leave a legacy ghost
let me leave a legacy ghost
let me leave a legacy ghost
let me leave a legacy ghost
VERSE
Years go by the sun will show,
a collage of friends they come and go
We learn from them, strengthen too
It’s the spirit of what we do
There are roads before you, choices too,
take the best ones right for you
let the sky speak to your head
and leave a trail where your life has led.
CHORUS:
Hey life do me right
keep me seeing the better light
take me high, higher than most
let me leave a legacy ghost
let me leave a legacy ghost
let me leave a legacy ghost
let me leave a legacy ghost
BRIDGE:
When its time for me to go
the only love I get to leave
Are echoes of the words I said
When it’s time for me to go
the only love you get to know
Are memories of the life I’ve led
CHORUS:
Hey life do me right
keep me seeing the better light
take me high, higher than most
let me leave a legacy ghost
let me leave a legacy ghost
let me leave a legacy ghost
let me leave a legacy ghost
Let me leave a legacy ghost.

Leaves Fall Down

LEAVES FALL DOWN
Looking out I see rain beating on my window pane
Summers gone, now it’s fall, l hardly notice the change at all
CHORUS
Until leaves fall down, colors change hue, brown, red and yellow too
Mesmerizing, dancing in the wind, as the wind blew
I look out you drive up in a white pickup truck
Take your hand kiss you right, lead you into the night
CHORUS
Leaves fall down colors change hue, just like me and you
Mesmerizing, dancing in the wind, as the wind blew
CHORUS:
Leaves fall down, colors change hue, brown, red and yellow too
Mesmerizing, dancing in the wind, as the wind blew
Leaves fall down colors change hue, just like me and you
Mesmerizing, dancing in the wind, as the wind blew
As the leaves
As the leaves fall
and the wind blew around
As the leaves fall
and the wind blew around
As the leaves fall
And the wind blew around
As the leaves fall
And the wind blew around

WITH YOU NOW
VERSE:
Waylaid while I’m waiting for an answer, next boat leaves at 2 o’clock
Next stop, it doesn’t really matter cause I’ll be there when it leaves the dock
CHORUS:
Don’t you know I’m shaking,
don’t you know I’m breaking
don’t you know I’m waking up to you
I’m so tired of the faking;
I’ve just had it with the taking
And I think it’s time for making a change with you now.
VERSE:
Uptight while I’m standing still,
time passes and surrounds me
Reflections on what I thought was real, I’m just sinking out of bounds
CHORUS:
Don’t you know I’m shaking,
don’t you know I’m breaking
don’t you know I’m waking up to you
I’m so tired of the faking;
I’ve just had it with the taking
And I think it’s time for making a change with you now. :
BRIDGE:
And you never could understand me then
How can it be from beginning to end the same old thing
CHORUS:
Don’t you know I’m shaking,
don’t you know I’m breaking
don’t you know I’m waking up to you
I’m so tired of the faking;
I’ve just had it with the taking
And I think it’s time for making a change with you now.
VERSE:
What’s left in this masquerade, we’re caught between deception and the truth
There’s no choice in make believe but, in real life it’s up to you
CHORUS:
Don’t you know I’m shaking,
don’t you know I’m breaking
don’t you know I’m waking up to you
I’m so tired of the faking;
I’ve just had it with the taking
And I think it’s time for making a change with you now.
Gotta make a change,
Gotta make a change
Time to make a change
Time to make a change

HOME
There’s a gateway of mountains that surround the drive
Firs and pine trees, brush the sky
Whispering wind chants ancient tribal sounds
Verdance and tranquility abounds
Rivers wind through the landscape
Pristine waters shimmer on morning lakes
Tall mountains glow when sunset falls
An eagle flies, a day dissolves.
CHORUS:
It’s a place where people are sure to meet
Some pass through, some gather on the street
Simple and strong in traditions and beliefs
A destination of music, and peaceful relief
Where life embraces family and friends
Home, this is home
When I pass through town my heart feels warm
It’s like a cozy fireside in a winter storm
Community, like mother nature's seed
Wraps its arms, around me
CHORUS:
It’s a place where people are sure to meet
Some pass through, some gather on the street
Simple and strong in traditions and beliefs
A destination of music, and peaceful relief
Where life embraces family and friends
Home, this is home
Instrumental
CHORUS:
It’s a place where people are sure to meet
Some pass through, some gather on the street
Simple and strong in traditions and beliefs
A destination of music, and peaceful relief
Where life embraces family and friends
Home, this is home
END: Home home this is home.

Washington Is Burning

Written by Michele McNany
WASHINGTON IS BURNING
Come a summer like never before
Dry brush on the valley floor
No snow on the mountain, No rain in the big blue sky
You never are prepared for the lightening strike hey hey hey
CHORUS:
Washington is burning like never, before 100 firefighters, we need more
Please send more
Washington is burning like never, before 100 firefighters, we need more
Please send more
Towers of smoke intensify
Flames of fury engulf lives
Complex fires melt carpets of grass, 80 foot cat line hoping to last
Evacuated families, livelihoods and homes you’re not alone
CHORUS:
Washington is burning like never before, 500 firefighters we need more
BRIDGE: Big dreams burned down, ashes scattered all around
How long ‘til these broken lives become whole
CHORUS:
Washington is burning like never before,
1000 firefighters we need more
Washington is burning like never before,
1000 firefighters please send more
Washington is burning like never before,
1000 firefighters we need more
Washington is burning like never before,
2000 firefighters please send more
Please send more
END:
Washington is Burning
Washington is Burning
Washington is Burning
