HAPPY AS HELL Dean McTaggart/Suzie Vinnick I don't want for nothin’, I may complain but I know I’m living a charmed life, lucky to be walkin’ down this road I've got no reason to ever bitch and moan I'm up more than I'm down, most times the pieces seem to fit It hasn’t been all been roses but I’ve got good friends who’ll catch me when I slip Still got some Mojo, it's slowed down some but it ain’t quit I'm happy as hell (happy as hell) I got everything I need (everything I need) I’m happy as hell (happy as hell) Got a few aching bones, but the truth be known It’s easy to be me I have my days like everyone, when I whine and cry the blues But I see the bigger picture, when I turn on the news I’m so grateful, to be standing in these shoes I'm happy as hell (happy as hell) I got everything I need (everything I need) Happy as hell (happy as hell) Got a few aching bones but the truth be known It’s easy to be me SOLO Happy as hell (happy as hell) I’ve got everything I need (everything I need) Happy as hell (happy as hell) I’ve got everything I need (everything I need) Happy as hell (happy as hell) I’ve got everything I need Got a few aching bones, but the truth be known It's easy to, it's easy to be, it's easy to be me It's easy to, it's easy to be, it's easy to be me, I got it easy © SOCAN 2018

The Golden Rule 03:29

THE GOLDEN RULE Suzie Vinnick, Arlene Bishop & Mark Lalama When we were small and the world was tall We had good teachers who’d try to reach us We learned the rule in and out of school That all people are created equal Is it right that day and night we must fight for what is right? The Golden Rule, the Golden Rule Hearts can be tender, hearts can be cruel (Is it) me for me and you for you Or will we live by the Golden Rule? As we grow up some, not everyone Believes the same way we do, that don't make it wrong, no (No matter) what the way, all warm hearts say Love and care for others, every sister and brother Is it right that day and night we must fight for what is right? The Golden Rule, the Golden Rule Hearts can be tender, hearts can be cruel (Is it) me for me and you for you Or will we live by the Golden Rule? It costs nothing to be kind; it costs nothing to be kind SOLO We must fight for what is right The Golden Rule, the Golden Rule Hearts can be tender, hearts can be cruel (Is it) me for me and you for you Or will we live by The Golden Rule, the Golden Rule Hearts can be tender, hearts can be cruel (Is it) me for me and you for you Or will we live by the Golden Rule? © SOCAN 2018

LEAN INTO THE LIGHT David Leask/Suzie Vinnick Lean into the light - the light’s gonna help me find my way Good morning broken dreams, tell me “how you been?” Maybe today’s the day I’m gonna fix ya Hello stubborn cloud, I see you’re still around I think it’s time I tried to shake your shadow Lean into the light - the light’s gonna help me find my way I’ve been planting seeds, found beauty in the weeds Every time that I go deeper in the woods My phototropic boss, says I’m never lost I’ll find the hidden signs along the pathway Lean into the light - the light’s gonna help me find my way In the dark - there's a bigger light An endless flame - to get me through the night In the dark - there's a calming voice That silences the noise…. if I just Lean into the light - the light’s gonna help me find my way © SOCAN 2018

WATCH ME Treasa Levasseur/Suzie Vinnick Think you know my weaknesses, just watch me Think you've got me beaten, wait and see For to see is to believe, yet appearances deceive Go on take another look, now judge the cover by the book And watch me, yeah watch me Think you know the way to win, just watch me Think you've got the rules down - wait and see For to see is to be seen, everyone gets their fifteen Turned the minutes into years Take no prisoners, have no fears And watch me, watch me Wait, what, watch me! Think you got me figured out just watch me Think you know my motives, wait and see Monkey see, monkey do, see in me what you feel in you Watch me praise, watch me rage Watch me cheat death, watch me age Watch me struggle, watch me roar Watch me falter, watch me soar Watch me leave you wanting more Hey watch me Yeah watch me Hey yeah watch me ohh © SOCAN 2018

CRYING A RIVER FOR YOU Packham/Vinnick Been around long enough to know Baby, I could never ever let you go Anything you want, I would surely do Now I’m crying a river for you For seven days and for seven nights Baby, trying to see how we could make it right Ever since you told me you and I were through I’ve been crying a river for you, oh Crying a river, a river of years There’s enough that we could sail away I’m drowning in these tears Crying a river, a river for You and I together on this boat, baby Trying to see how we might stay afloat Any storm we faced somehow we pulled through Now I’m crying a river for you, crying a river for you, oh Crying a river, a river of years There’s enough that we could sail away I’m drowning in these tears Crying a river, a river for you Crying a river, river of years There’s enough that we could sail There’s enough that we could sail away I’m drowning in my tears Crying a river, oh, a river for you Crying a river for you

GONNA FIND SOME FREEDOM Suzie Vinnick Gonna find some freedom, gonna find some peace Gonna find some freedom, gonna find release In this world, in my mind, learn to breathe all of the time Gonna find some freedom, gonna find some peace I’m lying on my back, watching clouds as they pass A robin wrestles worms from the ground Little boys are running wild, catchin’ crickets in the grass Little girls are building clover crowns CHORUS A willow in a grass skirt hulas in the wind The children slowly stumble and they laugh One boy kneels on the ground; he flips a coin they gather ‘round A silver dollar’s shining in his hand And where the wind blows, That’s where I’m gonna go… SOLO Gonna find some freedom, gonna find some peace Gonna find some freedom, gonna find release In this world, in my mind, learn to breathe all of the time Gonna find some freedom, gonna find some peace © SOCAN 2018

Creaking Pines 04:37

CREAKING PINES Kent Theaker Creaking pines, I’ll play my hand surrounded by some friends of mine I’ve got ace or two I’ll lay down when I feel it’s time To end the game amidst these creaking pines Walk my floor, and leave behind the footprints I will make no more One more innocuous reminder of the soul who swore She’d no longer hear the sound of creaking pine Oh timber When the time is right, that will be my lucky night Oh timber down below On that day, don’t want my bones to be consumed in someone’s fireplace Find me a shady patch of woodland near an open space Watched over by a pair of creaking pines SOLO Oh timber When the time is right, that will be my lucky night Oh timber down below On that day, don’t want my bones to be consumed in someone’s fireplace Find me a shady patch of woodland near an open space Watched over by a pair of creaking pines © SOCAN

BEAUTIFUL LITTLE FOOL Suzie Vinnick/Dave Clark The stars have all come out tonight The moon hides behind the trees I’m thinking back to when we met You said you had the key You’re such a beautiful little fool Can’t believe you fell for me You opened up the door to my heart Such a beautiful little fool Can’t believe you fell for me You opened up the door to my heart And set me free A sea side stroll, just you and me Felt like diving in We dipped our toes into the waves And love came sailing in CHORUS Sometimes when a hearts in shambles Then luck jumps out from behind a tree You know love’s a crazy gamble You gotta roll the dice and see Rockers rockin’ on the porch The sun begins to set I wear the key you gave to me It shines here on my neck CHORUS © 2018 SOCAN

DRIFT AWAY Matt Andersen/Suzie Vinnick Drift away, from your worries Drift away, from all your cares The storm is raging, it’ll be over soon Let it go and drift away Carry on, through the hard times Carry on, through the strife The darkness is fading, it’ll be morning soon Let it go and carry on When you don’t know what to do When you don’t know who to be When you don’t know where to go When the end is so hard to see Drift away, from your worries Drift away, from all your cares The storm is raging, it’ll be over soon Let it go and drift away The storm is raging, it’ll be over soon Let it go and drift away © SOCAN

“Serving up a set where it shows she’s a long way from getting jaded and losing her mojo, this girl most likely to…has more chops than the meat department at the Costco warehouse. Blues, folk, rock? She’s got a toe in all those waters and handles them all with the ease of wrapping them around her little finger. A real blast of fresh air, this set hit’s the target every timeout. Killer stuff throughout.”

– Music Reviews by the Rock Doctor
