PINK BALLOON
Words and Music Written by Lynn Tessari

FLOATING CLOUDS ALWAYS STEAL MY ATTENTION
THEY FILL THE SKY WITH A MARSHMALLOW ZOO
WE NEED TIME TO THINK ABOUT NOTHING
WE NEED A DAY FOR JUST ME AND YOU

THERE'S NO NEED TO GO ANYWHERE ELSE
IMAGINATION HAS NO LIMITS ON DESTINATIONS

I WANT TO CHASE A PINK BALLOON
I WANT TO CHAT WITH THE MAN IN THE MOON, AFTER
SKIPPING ROCKS WITH YOU ALL AFTERNOON
I WANT TO CHASE A PINK BALLOON

WHISTLING

HERE'S NO NEED TO GO ANYWHERE ELSE
IMAGINATION HAS NO LIMITS ON DESTINATIONS

I WANT TO CHASE A PINK BALLOON
I WANT TO CHAT WITH THE MAN IN THE MOON, AFTER
SKIPPING ROCKS WITH YOU ALL AFTERNOON
I WANT TO CHASE A PINK BALLOON

WHISTLING

MAKING MY MONEY
Words and Music by Lynn Tessari and Bobby Cameron 2015

JUST FINISHED TWELVE HOURS ON THE FLOOR
PULLING MILES OF PIPE
NOW THE PUSH WELL HE IS PUSHING FOR MORE
AND DID I HEAR HIM RIGHT?
CREW CHANGE CALLED HE'S TOO SICK TO WORK
HE'S NOT SICK HE'S JUST A LAZY JERK
HE'S NOT SICK HE'S JUST A LAZY JERK
IT'S MINUS TWENTY NOT COUNTING THE WIND
AND IT'S FALLING FAST
LOST ALL FEELING IN MY HANDS AGAIN
BUT I HAVE TO LAST
COMPANY MAN'S YELLING WE'RE SHORT ON TIME
WELL HE CAN 
STICK THIS SHIFT WHERE THE SUN DON'T SHINE
CHORUS
DON'T TALK TO ME ABOUT DEADLINES
I MAKE MY MONEY GETTING 'ER DONE
THEY SAY YOUR COLLAR IS BLUE OR WHITE
MINE'S THE COLOR OF SWEAT AND BLOOD
I'M A ROUGH MAN TOUGH MAN HONEY
'CUS I'M MAKING MY MAKING MY MAKING MY MONEY 
MAKING HOLE

GIRL YOU KEEP ON TALKING TO ME
'BOUT HOW I'M NEVER THERE
SAY SAYING “IT’S YOUR JOB OR ME” 
COME ON THAT ISN’T FAIR
I HAVE A MONTH TO QUIT AND GIVE YOU THAT RING
WELL WHAT’D YOU THINK IS GONNA PAY FOR THE BLING

CHORUS
BRIDGE

IT’S A COLD HARD WAY
TO EARN YOUR CASH
YOU MAKE YOUR MONEY MAKING HOLES IN THE MUD 
THEN RAISE YOUR FRACKING GLASS

CHORUS

DON'T TALK TO ME ABOUT DEADLINES
I MAKE MY MONEY BY GETTING 'ER DONE
THEY SAY YOUR COLLAR IS BLUE OR WHITE
MINE'S THE COLOR OF SWEAT AND BLOOD
DON'T TALK TO ME ABOUT DEADLINES
I MAKE MY MONEY BY GETTING 'ER DONE
THEY SAY YOUR COLLAR IS BLUE OR WHITE
MINE'S THE COLOR OF SWEAT AND BLOOD
I'M A ROUGH MAN TOUGH MAN HONEY
GIRL YOU MISS ME BUT YOU’D SURE MISS THAT MONEY
GOTTA GO ‘CUS BEING BROKE AIN’T FUNNY
‘SO I'M MAKING MY MAKING MY MAKING MY MONEY 
MAKING HOLE

WILDFLOWER
by Lynn Tessari

HAIR LIKE A BUTTERCUP
EYES LIKE A BLUE BELL
AND A SPIRIT AS FREE AS THE WIND

LITTLE GIRL DANCING BAREFOOT
THROUGH FIELDS OF WILD CLOVER
WITH A WILL THAT WON'T EVER GIVE IN

PRECHORUS

AS YOU GO FROM GIRL TO WOMAN YOU CAN'T HELP BUT DOUBT
WILL YOUR COLOURS FADE AWAY WILL YOU BE MISSING OUT?

CHORUS

WILDFLOWER, YOU NEED NEVER FEAR
REMEMBER, YOU GROW STRONGER EVERY YEAR
WILDFLOWER, YOU'RE STILL DANCING IN THE SUN
WILDFLOWER YOUR JOURNEY’S JUST BEGUN

WITH EYES FULL OF STARDUST 
AND A HEAD FULL OF DAYDREAMS
A YOUNG WOMAN STARTS OUT ON HER WAY

BUT LIFE'S ALWAYS CHANGING 
AND DREAMS REARRANGING
TIL THEY'RE NOT QUITE THE SAME DREAMS TODAY

AS THE DAYS OF LIFE GO BY YOU MIGHT THINK ABOUT
ALL THE THINGS YOU HAVEN'T DONE HAVE YOU BEEN MISSING OUT?

WILDFLOWER, YOU NEED NEVER FEAR
REMEMBER, YOU GROW STRONGER EVERY YEAR
WILDFLOWER, YOU'RE STILL DANCING IN THE SUN
WILDFLOWER YOUR JOURNEY’S JUST BEGUN

YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY THAT YOU'LL WITHER AND FADE AWAY
WILDFLOWER YOU GROW MORE BEAUTIFUL EACH DAY

REPEAT CHORUS

CLEAN DOORSTEPS
by Lynn Tessari, Bobby Cameron and Mark Times 2016

MOMMA WASN’T MUCH ON PRAYIN’
BUT SHE BELIEVED WE’RE ALL WORTH SAVIN’
AND I WORE HER PATIENCE TO THE BONE

QUICK TO BLAME AND POINT THE FINGER
I’D FUEL THE FIRE, LET THINGS LINGER
SHE’D SAY BOY YOU GOTTA LEARN TO LET IT GO

CHORUS

DON’T GO PITCHIN’ MUD AND FIRING STONES
YOU’VE GOT BROKEN WINDOWS OF YOUR OWN
WE ALL LIVE IN GLASS HOUSES IN THIS TOWN
THERE’S A PEACE OF MIND
THAT YOU’LL ONLY FIND
WITH CLEAN DOORSTEPS

YOU CAN’T TELL PEOPLE HOW TO LIVE 
IF THEY KEEP TAKING, JUST KEEP GIVIN’
WE HAVE TO SWEEP OUR OWN STEPS CLEAN

THE FIERY CROSS YOU’RE CARRYIN’ ‘ROUND
WILL ONLY BURN BRIDGES TO THE GROUND
WHEN YOUR STEPS ARE STAINED WITH GASOLINE

CHORUS

DON’T GO PTICHIN’ MUD AND FIRING STONES
YOU’VE GOT BROKEN WINDOWS OF YOUR OWN
WE ALL LIVE IN GLASS HOUSES IN THIS TOWN
THERE’S A WRONG SIDE TO THE RIGHTEOUS
BETTER UNDERSTAND HOW HIGH THE PRICE IS
THE HIGH AND MIGHTY FALL THE FURTHEST DOWN
KEEP YOUR PIECE OF MIND
SPEND YOUR TIME
ON CLEAN DOORSTEPS

BRIDGE

MOMMA’S GONE BUT HER WORDS SHINE THROUGH LIKE A PORCH LIGHT IN THE DARK
WHEN PRIDE TAKES OVER AND I TAKE AIM SHE WHISPERS TO MY HEART


CHORUS

DON’T GO PTICHIN’ MUD AND FIRING STONES
YOU’VE GOT BROKEN WINDOWS OF YOUR OWN
WE ALL LIVE IN GLASS HOUSES IN THIS TOWN
THERE’S A WRONG SIDE TO THE RIGHTEOUS
BETTER UNDERSTAND HOW HIGH THE PRICE IS
THE HIGH AND MIGHTY FALL THE FURTHEST DOWN
THERE’S A PEACE OF MIND
WHEN YOU SPEND YOUR TIME
ON CLEAN DOORSTEPS
CLEAN DOORSTEPS
SPEND YOUR TIME ON CLEAN DOORSTEPS


CLEAN DOORSTEPS

"Song Without a Name" is a tune written to inspire people to let go of the naysayer within and get on with the doing part of life.

Song Without a Name

13 Summers 
by Jake Matthews and Lynn Tessari (c) 2017

When they brought me home, you never left my side
I was a brand new baby boy, you’re making sure I was alright
2 peas in a pod, best friends from the start
Stuck together like glue
My first summer with you

Playing in the mud, wow Mom would get so mad
Covered head to toe, we were kings of the land
Cowboys on the range, Burnin’ daylight like John Wayne  
Saving the day like heros do
5 Summers with you

We were busy making memories, always on the run
Don’t know how I got so lucky, time sure flies when you’re having fun

Racing down the road on my new pedal bike
Doing all you can to catch me, chasing from behind
To the store to the park, we knew every street by heart
Well might have got lost a time or two
10 summers with you

Instrumental

We were busy making memories, living for the day
Prayed summer’d last forever but the seasons always change


 Sitting on the front porch the leaves are turning brown
Boy you look so tired, it won’t be too long now
So much more than just a dog, my best friend through it all
The Fall is coming way too soon
But I got 13 summers with you
Yeah I’ll always hold on to 
13 Summers with you

13 Summers

Under the Celtic, Folk and Roots influences with lonesome images of the Alberta Plains painted throughout. Co-written with Jamie Oppenheimer and Shauna Leigh Taylor
