Lyrics

Long cold winter

Rustling leaves, the fall behind
With winter coming ?round
I?ve been laying in supplies
Living underground
?cause I can smell the snow
And feel it freeze
Just the other side of town
Sewing patches on my jeans
Batten hatches down.

?cause it?s going to be
A long cold winter
Stoking up the fire
And I hope it snows and stays forever
Curled up inside
I love to feel that I?m so far away
Dig out my Chevrolet
Pick up my mail some time today?

Tuning in my radio
On a frosty Friday night
Picking up some hick town D.J.
Saying that he?s right
In a honky tonking Christmas carolling
Northern Western town
Off some back road secondary,
Never to be found

And it?s going to be a long cold winter
Stoking up the fire
And they hope it snows and stays forever
Curled up inside
Their sleepy little hideaway
Hitch up that horse and sleigh
Pick up their mail sometime today

Turning in and skidding up my
Snow drifted drive
I can?t help but get the feeling
I?m alive?

Bundle up, button down
Summer?s been and gone
First storm of the season?s
Moving in and coming on
The wind is whipping white, frost bitten
Snowflakes made of lace
Like I might imagine heaven
God I love this place
