Lyrics
WINTER STORM
©2003 by John G. Fausett
Are you ready for a winter storm
When the temperature plunges well below the norm?
Are you ready for a winter storm
When your survival depends on whether you can stay warm?
CHORUS: And it snows as the cold wind blows
Into a polar low with a cyclonic flow
In the city life is standing still
As the snow drifts build in a deadly wind chill
Traffic everywhere is paralyzed
It?s a blizzard everybody ? ? just as advertized!
CHORUS
In a blizzard you can only see white
You can get hypothermia and suffer frostbite
Check your heater ?cause you?re gonna be inside
You don?t want poisoning from carbon monoxide
CHORUS
BRIDGE: Have yourself a three days? supply
Of food and water just to get you through
Fresh batteries, a good flashlight
And don?t forget an extra blanket or two
Freezing rain brings a layer of ice
So if you drive in your car you?re gonna pay the price
Freezing rain makes the power lines break
And the trees fall down from all the extra weight
CHORUS
Winter storm is gonna give you a call
With an inch of solid ice or a heavy snowfall
Are you ready? It?s about to hit
Get your family prepared with a survival kit
BRIDGE
CHORUS
