Steamroller Dreams – Lyrics by Shane Larmand
Driving down Santa Monica Boulevard, driving around in my hearse,
Driving to the beach, sand and surf wet on my feet,
Waiting for the band,
To go rock a beat.
Moving on from you, was the hardest thing I could do,
Moving on to find somebody new,
Moving to the states, I’m sure you can appreciate,
This is just something I have to do.
(Chorus)
Dreams of California, dreams of fame and fortune,
Follow that sun until it sets in the sea,
Follow that dream until it finds me,
Dreams of California
Driving down the street, Palmer smoking beside me,
When I saw Ritchie and Steve and they flagged us down,
Got into a band, found a manager – Friedman,
Named it all after the steamroller downtown.
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
I was driving down with Bruce,
Rock n’ roll journey,
Like charging buffalo,
Thundering across the fields to..
(Chorus)

Root Foot
Words and Music: Shane Larmand
Breathe in and then to find,
Lift the haze from the shroud,
That’s hung over my mind
My mind, my time,
It’s all so heavy sometimes.
Breathe out and then to shout,
Clear the throat from the choke,
Clean the eyes from the crimes,
My mind, my time,
It’s all so heavy sometimes.
(Chorus)
I think I found a little way to get away,
I think I found a little way to get away,
I think I found a little way to get away,
You gotta stop sometimes,
To keep on moving,
Your feet gotta root,
To keep on looking up.
Breathe in and then to find,
Lift the haze from the shroud,
That’s hung over my mind
My mind, my time,
It’s all so heavy sometimes.
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
Let the pain flow,
Deep within me,
Rise from the core,
Until I fly free.
Breathe in and then to find…

You Are My Home – Words and Music by Shane Larmand
(Verse 1)
My feet just can’t stop runnin’ around,
I feel like a mouse in this rat race,
I’ve built these rocks up from the ground,
It’s been a while since I’ve seen your face.
I’ve just come to realize,
That I’m seeing this place through different eyes,
But it don’t matter where I go,
I know you are my home.
My friends are out there buzzin’ around,
But just like the bees, they’re getting thinner,
Everybody’s listening to their own sound,
Everybody’s worried about the coming winter,
It’s like trying to hang on to a handful of dust,
There’s a very short list of those I trust,
But it don’t matter who I know,
I know you are my home.
(Chorus)
So, hold me close, don’t ever let me go,
Kiss me slow, I want to taste it all,
You’re so strong, that even when we roam,
I know you are my home.
We were out in that mountain town
Doing our thing, taking in the light,
You cried out then you fell to the ground
Got you to the car, sickbed for the night
The next morning led to a frenzy of pain
I never thought I’d see you again
But I will never let you go,
I know you are my home.
(Chorus)

Diamond Spine –
Words and Music by Shane Larmand (Dedicated to Arleta Larmand)
Don’t you find
Your eyes gone blind
To the shine
That once had shone
In your mind
Like a diamond mine
Now I find
The waves flood out
From my eyes
That well never seems
To run dry
Like down at the waterline
(Chorus)
Yeah, It’s too hard to let it go, let it shine on,
It runs too deep not to let show, let it shine on.
Carried me,
Before I was a child
The first one
To make me smile
Like a ray of light
(Bridge)
That fades away into memories
of those bright, younger days.
Don’t you find
The love we feel
is finite
I can feel it
Down through my spine
lost the
Shine of my Diamond mine
(Chorus)
Shine on, Shine on, Shine on, etc.
Fades away, fades away, fades, away, etc.

Two Rivers Meet
Words and Music: Shane Larmand
(Bridge)
I look into your heart, into your eyes,
I look into your heart, I see no disguise.
In your eyes, your eyes, your eyes, your eyes.
The sun shines down on the riverside,
We’re heading down, down where the two rivers meet.
The old man sang and the dawn did rise,
I love the shine I saw in your eyes.
The love I felt on that morning,
The shine in your eyes,
The shine I felt on that morning,
The love in your eyes, your eyes, your eyes, your eyes.
Hey girl, let’s get back down to our roots,
Let’s head on down, down gravel roads far and wide,
Take me to your home under the moon,
Let me feel the love you have inside.
The love I felt on that morning,
The shine in your eyes,
The shine I felt on that morning,
The love in your eyes, your eyes, your eyes, your eyes.
I look into your heart, into your eyes,
I look into your heart, I see no disguise.
In your eyes, your eyes, your eyes, your eyes.
(Solo)
Hey friend, we are apart across the land,
But we’re tied, oh so tied, like how them two rivers meet,
From time to time and place to place,
You’ve forgiven my foolish mistakes.
(Chorus x2)
(Bridge Riff outro)

Monkey Train

Put it all on that monkey train
Ride it all out of town
Put it all on that monkey train
Ride it on down,
ride it on down, out of town
You’re tossing and turning all night in vain,
Skin is burning and your hearts in pain,
Your mind is like a wheel and its spinning again,
And that clock keeps turning and your time is thin,
Can’t stop thinking and you can’t lie still,
Get up for a drink or maybe a pill.
(Chorus)
You’re so damn worried that you won’t feel the same,
As the way that you did in those better days,
But life has a way of coming along,
And forcing you to dig so deep to be strong,
Breathe deep, stay true, you know it’s rough,
Who ever said it was easy to be tough.
(Chorus)
(Outro Riff)
Down, down, down, down you go,
Down, down, down, down you spiral,
Down, down, down, down you go,
Down, down, down, down you spiral,
Yeah, you’re hoping for some way to make this feeling go,
Yeah, you’re looking for some peace, man.
Yeah, you’re hoping for some way to make this feeling go,
Yeah, you’re looking for some peace, man.
Peace, man, peace, man, peace, man, peace, man.
Yeah, you’re hoping for some way to make this feeling go.

Lost in the Dark
Words and Music: Shane Larmand
Sometimes it all comes,
Crashing down just like a,
Hammer to the anvil,
A stick to the drum,
The road under the wheel,
The wheat under the grindstone,
My eyes staring straight up,
Into the sun.
(Chorus)
Yeah, it’s hitting home, lately,
Just how much I need you.
I feel lost in the dark, lately,
Lift me out of these blues.
There’s a bottle of old,
Cuervo on my table,
Just staring at me so low,
All red, bronze and Mexico.
Beside some kinda genie,
Bottle on the TV,
Make a wish and you’ll see,
You’ll feel just like me.
(Chorus)
Yeah, I see the season’s changing,
I can see the leaves falling from the trees,
Yeah, I know just what’s coming,
Long nights that make it hard to feel,
Yeah, to feel free
(Solo)
(Chorus)

Journey Around the Wheel
Words and Music – Shane Larmand
(Verse 1)
Here is goes again,
Riding through my mind,
Like I’m going blind
To all the light I’ve seen,
All the forests green,
I walk into dark valleys
(Chorus)
I know you’ll walk with me,
As we journey around the wheel,
Hand in hand through the trees,
As we journey around the wheel
(Verse 2)
Here is goes again,
Time to take that ride,
Like a triumph cycle,
With a shiny, black sidecar,
An unwanted passenger,
We ride into dark valleys,
(Chorus 2)
I know you’ll ride with me,
As we journey around the wheel,
You dark hair flying in the breeze,
As we journey around the wheel
(Bridge)
Ride with me, look inside with me, ride with me,
Ride with me, look inside with me, ride with me,
As we journey around the wheel (x4)

April On My Mind – Words and Music by Shane Larmand
(Verse 1)
First day of the spring and still the snow flies,
I’m thinking about summer blue skies,
I’ve must’ve swung that pick ax ten thousand times,
I’ve got April on My Mind.
(Verse 2)
Sang her some songs, until late in the night,
Held each other close, tried to take our time,
I never used to know, but now I see why,
I’ve got April on My Mind.
(Chorus)
Yeah, I want you,
By my side
Yeah, I want you,
You just to make me feel right.
Now she’s gone and I don’t understand why,
Something could go wrong when it felt so right,
You go back to your life, I’ll go back in time,
Yeah, I’ve got April on my mind.

Rocky Mountain Train – Lyrics and Music by Shane Larmand
(Verse 1)
There’s a time I spent in the Huron’s,
In the town of St. Marie of the Sault,
It eases my mind to know I can journey on,
And come crawling right back home to you.
(Verse 2)
There’s some girls I met when I was out east,
There’s a girl I held in the coulees
She give me southern sugar near the cornfields of Taber
South of the badlands of Drumheller
(Chorus)
Yeah, I’m riding down them tracks,
I don’t think that I’ll be heading back,
Yes, I’m hiding from those checks,
There ain’t no sleep ‘til the Columbia,
When you’re riding on that rocky mountain train
(Solo)
(Verse 3)
There’s a time I spent with a prairie rose,
In the town of the Tiger Lily,
In my dreams the wind has blown,
My trail back home to these fields.
(Chorus)
(Repeat Tag Line x2)
(Outro)
Riding on, on that train, Riding on, on that train,
Riding on, on that train, yeah, you gotta move
yeah, you gotta move, you gotta move, child,
yeah, you gotta move.
