Lyrics
I was driving home from Gulfport
'Bout the 15th of July
And it was mighty nice this mornin'
Now what's happening to the sky
'Cause when I pulled into the driveway
Got a white flake in my eye
And by the time I turned the doorknob
Had a chill right to my toes
There's a note stuck in the window
Tellin' me you got to go
But the chilly thing I'm feelin'
Is this white stuff when it blows
(chorus)
'Cause if it never snows in Mississippi
How come it's so cold at home
And there's no ice on the river
So what chills me to the bone
I got frostbite on my fingertips'
Since you left me all alone
(bridge)
Well the weather's turning chilly
Out in the noonday sun
This summer day is over
Winter's just begun
Can't find my way with both hands
There's a blizzard in my eyes
Cold north wind is blowin'
And it whistles and it cries
If it never snows in Mississippi
How come it's so cold at home
Why's the Harley in a snowbank
And the pool as hard as stone
I got frostbite on my fingertips
Since you left me all alone
