Lyrics

I'm driving slow, through the snow,
where i'm bound, man i just don't know,
i turn the defrost on, better cranck it up,
i'm sippin' black coffee , from a paper cup...............i'll tell ya

Chorus: She don't remember my name,
what i thought was love, turned out to be pain! (augh!!!)
she don't remember my name,
and my blood runs cold, just like frozen rain,
i'll drive on...................and sing a travelin' song

There's a flood by the bridge, creek has overflowed,
i'm just a tryin' to keep from slidin' off that road,
i shift to low gear, gonna ease down the hill,
that, tow truck garage ain't gonna send me no bill.........i'll tell ya

-CHORUS-

Ice on the lines, weighing them down,
white snow keeps on fallin' to the ground'
red & blue lights flash, 'round another crash'
think i'll slow down, don't wanna move that fast,...........i'll tell ya

-CHORUS-
(twice)
