WICHITA
Words & Music by Ladd Smith

I can take you all the way to Wichita
But that is all I can do my friend
I won't try to sell a salesman Wichita
Where the highway ends and the sky begins
And there ain't no walls
You don't even need a reason why
We could chase the lightning from the sky
The tears from your eyes
All the way to Wichita

I bet this pain won't feel the same in Wichita
Said the Alcohol, to the last cigarette
There's enough for all of us in Wichita
Tobacco stains and waves of grain
And clean truck-stops 
If falling is the only way to fly 
And living's just another losing fight
I'll follow the light
All the way to Wichita

[Bridge] 
Silhouettes against a setting sun
Haggard minuets for all who run
Sing a song for heroes still unsung
No matter where you're from
There's no place like home...

I hear there are rivers there in Wichita
And water-falls, every spring
No one hurts for lonely work in Wichita
With bells to ring for broken seams
And welds to bond 
If hell is any other place to be
Then heaven's just a sin away for me
I pray my soul to keep
All the way to Wichita

Wichita
Wichita 
Wichita Lighthouse
The Wichita Lighthouse in Hermosa Beach, California 
The Wichita Lighthouse In The Sky

TREEHOUSE
Ladd Smith

I wanna live in a treehouse with you
Way up there in the sky
I wanna sleep in a treehouse with you
That'll sway when the wind blows by
We can climb a rope ladder to heaven
And everyone will wonder why
We have our heads in the clouds
We could live in a Treehouse

Ya know, I can carve our names in a heart
And it will be part of our wall
We'll have plenty of room and a home-made broom
To sweep the leaves in the fall
I could make you tea and you can stand with me
And watch the people in the street below
As they wonder how
We could live in a Treehouse

Baby won't ya take my hand, come out on a limb with me
I'll teach you everything you need to know
I'll taste your lips and feel your kiss and baby then you'll see
We'll lay a blanket on the floor, over our trap door...

We could have a pet monkey, named Coco
We can teach him how to dance for change
We can sit on the porchswing, when the wind blows
Beneath a tin-roof when it rains
Can'tcha hear those birds sing by our window
When the sun is comin' up each day 
They'd fly from miles around
To visit us in our Treehouse

Baby won't ya take my hand, come out on a limb with me
I'll take you far away from the maddening crowd
I'll hold you tight through a starlit night and baby then you'll see 
We'll be the first lovebirds in town, to watch the sun go down
From the view in our Treehouse

We could live in a Treehouse...

MY GIRL FRIDAY

RED DIRT RISING

RIVERSIDE DRIVE

PEANUT BUTTER PANCAKES
Ladd Smith

I'm up before the dawn each day at five
My water gun alarm clock's keepin' my eyes so wide
Awake to greet the sun
Just to hear him say it's all been done
It's a lonely way to survive
Crazy's just another word for a long good bye
Let's write a song
Even though your gone

There's not a lot to do here in this town
There's not a lot to see when the sun is down and
Out behind the high-lines in my field
Cause he is still the only one to really know what's real
And it's a brilliant way to get by
I keep your picture close in the midday light
To keep me strong
Even though you're gone

Chorus:: (Lindsey Buckingham Guitar Solo):
oooooooooohweavin though you’re gone
Ooooooooooohleavin though you’re gone...
oooh oooooooohh

Wish I had a plan to change the world
Peanut butter pancakes on every plate for every little girl
And boy alike
But I'd need some reindeer and it would take all night
See, it's a beautiful way to survive
Crazy's just another word for a long goodbye
So sing along
Even though you're gone

Even though you’re go
