EVERYBODY'S GOT ONE I found a lost dog, a favorite cat And my fair share of trouble Love my momma, I miss my dad And his advice- double Got a song in my head I can’t stop singin’ Fire ants in my yard that won’t stop stingin’ That’s my story, I’m stickin’ to it ‘cause everybody’s got one I tend my garden, raise some ducks Need a mechanic, you’re outta luck Read my bible, mend some fences Try to abide where common sense is Got a trusty bike I won’t stop peddlin’ A next door neighbor who can’t stop meddlin’ That’s my story, I’m stickin’ to it ‘cause everybody’s got one Everybody’s got one Everybody’s got one That’s my story and I’m stickin’ to it ‘cause everybody’s got one Old flames, lost friends, And a wife who keeps me goin’ Storm clouds, blue skies Seems the winds of change keep blowin’ Got aches and pains and years gone by A young man’s vision but an old man’s eyes That’s my story, I’m stickin’ to it ‘cause everybody’s got one Chorus I got happy, I got sad I got memories good and bad Got my reasons and excuses Plenty of lies but the truth is In the end I can’t complain We’ve all got tickets on this one-way train I’m on board for my destination ‘cause everybody’s got one Chorus Copyright, 2019 by Verlon Thompson, Walt Leuzinger and Marge Lowery

Treeline 02:41
Rust belt smoke stacks cough and spew their amber fog monoxide and if you take their point of view there is no tree line Out among the burger barns with their nicotine and tough talk the 18-wheeler boys stay below the tree line I want to climb that mountain stairway up beyond the lodgepole pines til I get to a place where the stars still shine The radio is fading in and out I've got both hands on the wheel and I just want to dance and shout along the tree line I’m going to climb that mountain stairway up beyond the lodgepole pines til I get to a place where the stars still shine copyright,1997 by walt leuzinger

There is a place with rolling miles of sagebrush prairie and mountains wearing caps of snow Where red rock canyons reflect each sunset and all the weary cowboys have someplace to call their own Gone to Wyoming Don’t bother calling Come find me if you need me but it won’t be the same The roads are closed and the gate is shut behind me ‘cause I’m not gonna play the rat race game I quit the game My mind is clear as a snow melt stream in Sunlight Basin My spirit free to go where eagles go And so I climb the great Chief Joseph highway Following the footsteps of a man I want to know Gone To Wyoming Don’t bother calling Come find me if you need me but it won’t be the same The roads are closed and the gate is shut behind me ‘cause I’m not gonna play the rat race game I quit the game No more boss to please No more rush hour jam No more on my knees At peace with who I am So look for me along the banks of big Wind River Call my name at Yellowstone Search for me in the Absaroka alpine meadows Beyond the treeline where the indian paintbrush grows Gone to Wyoming Don’t bother calling Come find me if you need me but it won’t be the same The roads are closed and the gate is shut behind me ‘cause I’m not gonna play the rat race game I quit the game copyright, 1998, by walt leuzinger

Deadly Sin 03:23
It was just a little lie, took just a little breath Started like a whisper, ended like a death Say did you pray for him? He said it's just a little war, only take a little time Nobody gets hurt, at least none of mine Say did you pray for him? He was there at your door and you let him in Were you willing to ignore the fact that pride’s a deadly sin? Now some believe Jesus and some believe Paul Some believe neither, he didn’t fool ‘em all Say didn’t you pray for him? You got pride in country, pride in faith, Pride in what you think you’ve learned Pride will close your eyes to hell But that don’t mean you won’t get burned Now there’s just a little debt coming due one day For lifting him up and giving him his way By the way didn't you pray for him? You got pride in country, pride in faith, Pride in what you think you’ve earned Pride will close your eyes to hell But that don’t mean you won’t get burned Copyright, 2016, by Walt Leuzinger

The Devil As A Tailor It will not be the last time Of this I am quite sure For our tailor is the devil And he'll come knocking on our door again Calling for his payment More souls to tear and rend When the latest suffering Spun into his work is spent Dressed for pride and vanity We crave his haute couture Of bloodshed and insanity Of power terrible and pure The mirror is a flatterer Of color, seam and style No imperfection noted If for just a little while Whether rags or robes no matter Whether wool or finest silk His thread and needle fashion war For men of every ilk But soon a thread is loosened The unraveling begins Now pedaling at his wheel He sits and smiles and spins And makes a dazzling pretense Of mending and repair While sewing with a darker cloth He calls by name despair It will not be the last time Of this I am quite sure... copyright, 2013, by walt leuzinger

Autumn Song 03:41
Autumn Song Colors changing every day Underneath a canopy’s shade Hang around the trees that sway To blustery rhythms all their own River so deep and wide Frosty waters beckon me to fly Time has come to say goodbye To a place that’s been my home (Chorus) Keep on floating, my mind’s wide open Who’s never seen a wind that wants to whirl all day Though when at last it’s gone, will I still be holding on No time to worry, ‘cause my heart is in Autumn’s song Darkness brings a gentle state A nature’s lullaby awaits When crickets end their serenade To usher in the break of dawn Mountains so far and high Will I see the other side Drifting on just to reside At a place that I’ll call home (Chorus) In the sky a touch of gray (the clouds have rain to bring) By and by a roundelay I will sing (Chorus) copyright, 2023 by Brett Harrison and Walt Leuzinger

Nature's Lullaby Lying underneath a cloudless sky While a gentle breeze murmurs in the trees I hear the peaceful sigh of nature’s lullaby When bluebirds sing out songs of love And honey bees hum their harmonies I hear the sweet duet of nature’s lullaby As cicadas drone their mating calls From summer solstice to frost in Fall And butterflies on whispering wings Promise me all kinds of things That only nature can reveal With her thousand voices in my ear I fell under the spell of nature’s lullaby Her music carries through the air I feel my spirit soar And suddenly I become aware That life and love mean so much more When I’m well under the spell of nature’s lullaby And so I choose to linger here With her song so magical, so near And dwell under the spell of nature’s lullaby I dwell under the spell Fell under the spell of nature’s lullaby Copyright, 2022, by Walt Leuzinger
