Music and Lyrics David Storey – SOCAN June 2017
Killed a man in lillouet
He stole my girl and I couldn’t handle it
I get angry when I drink
There was blood everywhere
So I lit on outa there
I need time to think
Now I’m 50 clicks from Winnipeg
I need a drink and my whole-body aches
Demons rattle round my brain but I’ll keep rolling
I know where I’ve been where am I’m going
I know where I’ve been where am I’m going
Engine blew in Salmon Arm
Stole a car and kept movin on
There ain’t no happy endings for me
When you kill a man you take everything
All he’s got all he’ll ever bring
Now my head is clear I see
I’m 50 clicks from Winnipeg
I need a drink and my whole body ...

Music and Lyrics DAVID STOREY – SOCAN November 2016
I’m back in Regina again
Drinkin beer at the Plaines with my friends
Around the whole world I’ve been
But I never fit in
So I’m back in Regina again
Ive been to Peru and to France
Upon the great wall I have danced
But the Big Sky’s a site to see
It runs deep inside of me
Its with me where ever I chance
I’m back in Regina again
Drinkin beer at the Plaines with my friends
Around the whole world I’ve been
But I never fit in
I’m back in Regina again
Some folks say it’s too flat
But I know there’s more to it than that
You can see trouble coming
From a hundred miles running
It’ll never sneak up at your back
I’m back in Regina again
Drinkin beer ...

Music and Lyrics by David Storey – Socan 2012
Got an old set of Boddams, a little heavy but they work just fine.
A Sherwood stick and a fiberglass mask, Sawchuk painted on the side.
They’re sitting in the back of my truck outside this Macs milk store.
Still damp from last night’s game, ya I’m ready for more
So come on buddy bring it, give me your best shot.
I ain’t going nowhere, give me all you got.
I’m going to shut you down and then I’ll shut you up.
Come on buddy bring it, just bring it.
For fifty bucks and sixty minutes I’ll be your best friend.
Taking care of business down here where the blue ice ends.
Only play for the money got no strings attached.
God ...

Na na na na na
Na na na na na
you are not alone
Chin up girl it ain’t that bad.
You’ve been through worse and you made it back.
Find your faith, take it in.
Fill your heart, hold me close and sing.
Na na na na na
Na na na na na
you are not alone
Your so scared I see it in the eyes
Spirit is shaken, you don’t know why
I see you, I’m standing right here
Take the time, Tell me what you feel
Na na na na na
Na na na na na
you are not alone
You fret and you fumble, you laugh and you cry.
You want to be beautiful, you want to fly.
Na na na na na

Lyrics/Music – DAVID STOREY – SOCAN 2013
Keep your hat brim low expectations in check
Anything can happen and we ain’t home yet
I got more of life behind me than I do up ahead
I ain’t no one’s blue eyed hero but I got no regrets
I’m crusty and I’m tough
And I refuse to die
I’m gonna stare this crazy world
Straight in the eye
Some say Jesus will save me In his spirit I must dwell
But Jesus only helps the ones who help themselves.
The rivers still rising the sky is low and grey
Keep your eye on the horizon take it day by day
I’m crusty and I’m tough
And I refuse to die
I’m gonna stare this crazy world
Straight in the eye
Keep your hat brim low expectations in check
Anything ...

Hey I know you are out there somewhere
I’m not sure if you see us or care
What you do is far too great a mystery
I believe I’m part of something bigger than me.
In a world that likes to tear itself apart
Do you have a plan to mend our broken hearts?
Or are we on our own to save the day
I’m just trying to find my way
All I don’t know is hard to comprehend
Why is a word that never seems to end
So I try to get the little things right
And let hope be the difference between dark and light
I don’t want you to buy me a ford
I don’t want you to save my soul
I just want to ...

Sarah drives the school bus
Lord knows we can use the cash.
Me I fix small engines
Out back in my garage.
I like the way the leaves change in the fall.
I like fireworks on the long weekend.
I like a case of beer and hockey on TV.
I can’t complain
Won’t sing a sad refrain
Cause sunshine follows rain
And the world will turn again
I can’t complain
Jimmy joined the forces
He said it’s what he was born to do.
They gave him a gun and sent him to the Middle East
We love him hope he gets home soon.
I like the colored lights at Christmas.
I like the way the snow drifts up against my shed.
I like the smell of wheat after its’ been ...

HOME – Music lyrics Storey Socan 2014
All my battles are done
Some I’ve lost and some I’ve won
Climbed the mountain and touched the sky
Sat in shadows as people passed me by
I’m coming home.
To you
Sailed out to the edge of the sea
Way out where all the monsters be
Felt the heat of the dragon’s flame
Boil my blood and curse my name
I’m coming home
To you
Skin and bones and blood and heat
Tough and cool and soft and sweet
These things I lay at your feet
Hoping you remember me
I’m coming home
I’m coming home
I’m coming home

Music and Lyrics DAVID STOREY – SOCAN JANUARY 2018
Jimmy Jones had a heart attack in the boardroom on the forty first floor.
He’d been pushing paper and saying yes sir for 35 years or more.
Someone’s got to do it, someone’s got to pay
I’m looking at his empty desk, I don’t want to end this way.
Too young for the walker, too old for the toys
Gonna give it all away, I’ don’t need the noise
I will change the channel, from CNN to flannel
Looking in the mirror my friend, time to cash it in
Gonna get a pick-up truck and sweet old cowboy hat.
Make a home high in the mountains, disappear just like that.
So if you’re looking for someone to pin the blame on

I’m the last loon on the lake
Summer is gone and my friends have flown on
I’m the last loon on the lake
There’s ice in the bay and I should fly away
I’m the last loon on the lake
There’s frost on the ground and the leaves are all down
My friends all think I’m crazy, cause I love a frosty sunset
They’re all drunk on Marguerites hanging with Jimmy buffet
The sand boils beneath their wings the sun is a flaming ball
And I’m up here drunk on Lakeport waitin for the last leaf to fall.
I’m the last loon on the lake
Summer is gone and my friends have flown on
I’m the last loon on the lake
There’s ice in the bay and ...

Music and Lyrics David Storey – SOCAN 2014
It’s so easy to forget who I am, when we’ve been apart so long
My mind starts to drift to places It shouldn’t go
Cause your not here to remind me when I’m wrong
I’m gonna buy you every flower in this whole damn town
Hire a big old stretch to ferry you around
Fill up this flat with hummus and rum
Pull back the curtains let in the sun
Break out the bubbly
Crank up the Buble
Say goodbye to the blues boy
My Girls coming to town
Shalalalala My Girl is coming to town
Sittin on this couch smoking too many cigarettes
Flippin through the crap on my tv set
The weather outside is sunny and clear
But I don’t see it cause your not here

Read more ..... Some say I was born where the mountains meet the sea
My mother was the wildcat and my father the great grizzly
Others say I’m from back east but no one really knows
I’m the just the kid you heard about who lives for rock and snow
You might catch me in the early morning light
Way out on the spearhead rippin up the alpine
Yeah yeah oh my Seas to sky baby sea to sky
I’m a slider and a scoundrel and I’m scary when I’m stoned
All I own is a pickup truck and pair of overlords
There ain’t no woman ever gonna take me home
Just one look at me and they know I’m too far gone
So don’t you go tellin me to stide behind your line

Music and Lyrics – David Storey – SOCAN Oct 2017
Definitely small time,
Back roads and a telephone line
Save a nickel just to spend a dime
Definitely small time
Another year has come and gone
Money is tight but the family is strong
Put it all together hope it doesn’t fall apart
We got each other that’s a good start
If the weather holds out, we might just make it
What ever comes our way, we’re gonna take it
Definitely small time,
Back roads and a telephone line
Save a nickel just to spend a dime
Definitely small time
Big time rock n roll band is coming round
Playing in a hall at the edge of town
We got ourselves some tickets, gonna tear the place apart
Singing and Dancing heart to heart
We may never be back ...

Cigarettes, unmade beds, Empty coffee cups,
Dusty boots and dirty jeans, pennies in the couch
Day old fries for breakfast, double double on the go
Busted engines, fickle females, wages up in smoke
Someday my time will come
Someday I’ll surprise everyone
I am more than all that I’ve become
Someday my time will come
Money mart, lotto max, shooters, bongs and beer
Troubles always round the corner nothing changes here
There is a path to glory but I don’t have the key.
So set the dice to tumbling and see what rolls to me.
Someday my time will come
Someday I’ll surprise everyone
I am more than all that I’ve become
Someday my time will come
I’ll show the world all that I can be
I’ll take what’s ...

There’s blood on the floor at city hall tonight.
The mayor and the press are fighting over money lies and pride.
You can hear the racket way out on the east side.
Where there’s kids running round with guns and death behind their eyes.
But there’s a candle burning In the Church of Saint Adelaide.
The lost and sick have washed up, they’re looking for a break.
They’re holding hands and singing songs of Love and hope and faith.
The candles are burn in Saint Adelaide
The moneys all north of Bloor and it ain’t trickling down.
The cabbies down on parliament are just barely holding ground.
The free way is crumbling, it’s hard to get around.
The shadows from those tall dark towers ...

Let’s head down to Main Street and huck a goober off the bridge
Try to catch your sister skinny dipping out at bare ball ridge.
We fire up some bottle rockets outside old man Thompson’s door
And stick around just long enough to see his dentures hit the floor
Then we’ll steal Mrs Spencer’s bra strap right off her clothes line
We’ll use it as a sling shot to hurl apples at the sky
We are the greatest my buddy and me
We are the greatest the best you’ll ever see
I’ll take my old jack knife and slash a hole in our thumbs
Our blood will flow together as brothers we’ll be one
Then we’ll bury the skull and cross bones that ...

All the laughs honey, all the tears
All the kids and, all the years
We’ve been scared, we’ve been scrappy
We’ve been silent and we’ve been saucy
Time truth and trust
Have been very good to us
I know you and you know me
We’ve let each other grow into who we’re meant to be
There’s been magic but it’s been no fairy tale
A steady hand and Hearts that never fail
Time truth and trust
Have been very good to us
Time is the space we took to learn how to forgive
Truth is the strength it takes to love without regret
Trust is the anchor that holds us both in place
Something to hang to cause everything will change
Time truth and trust
Have been very good to us

Scored a goal last night in the Trout Lake men’s Rec league.
Took a pass from Long Shot Larry then I split their D.
Crossed their blue line, wind in my face and the game on my stick.
The only thing standing between me and glory was Buttsy with his glove hand so quick.
And the moon shone bright on my little corner of the world.
Snowflakes danced across my back.
And the river’s been frozen for six or seven weeks now.
If you listen closely you can hear it crack.
Stewby Cooter chased me down with his taped-up gloves and his toothless grin.
So I made like Mario and slipped the rubber between his shins.
Then ...
