Cabin Fever |
|
Cabin Fever There’s a fat brown Labrador trying to get out of the cold Layin’ out by the wood stove he’s getting old That storm would have ripped right through him Left three foot of snow behind But you can’t let cabin fever wrap around your mind
We danced round and round like swirling snow We danced round and round ‘bout as fast as we can go
Cabin fever’s got a big hat on this town Cabin fever’s takin’ us down
We danced round and round like swirling snow We danced round and round ‘bout as fast as we can go Round and round like swirling snow We danced round and round ‘bout as fast as we can go
My bike’s in the shed My woman’s in my head My bike’s in the shed My woman’s in my head |

We talked for hours, hours and hours
As it snowed, as it snowed
The fire was perfect
The wine was red and warm
North wind whistled a lullaby in the storm
We talked for hours, hours and hours
As it snowed, as it snowed
Grandma’s quilt, woven squares and candlelight
Soft yellow words
Long love promises through the night
We talked for hours, hours and hours
As it snowed, as it snowed
We talked for hours, hours and hours
As it snowed, as it snowed
We talked for hours, hours and hours
As it snowed, as it snowed |

Cabin by Nemo
Found your laughter in the closet
Stacked behind your shoes
You must have forgotten where you left it
But it’s something I
could use
It’s snowing in the mountains
You can smell it in the air
There’s a cabin by Nemo
And I’d love to take you
there
Let’s act like outlaw lovers
That need a place to hide
There’s a smell of smoke in the pines
And horses to ride
It’s snowing in the mountains
You can smell it in the air
There’s a cabin by Nemo
Please let me take you
there
Mountain sun shines on the morning snow
Dancing colors in your heart
Stoke the fire and go back to bed
We ain’t ready for the
day to start
It’s snowing in the mountains
You can smell it in the air
There’s a cabin by Nemo
We can find laughter
there
Grab a couple books, skis and your checkerboard
I can bring some candles
and fixings for chicken noodle soup
It’s snowing in the mountains
You can smell it in the air
It’s snowing in the mountains
You can smell it in the air |

Cornfield Prayers
I prayed in a cornfield last night
Underneath the Januarys full moonlight
I was walking with my dog
Dropping teardrops in the snow
I pray now wherever I go
He was a blue-eyed boy beautiful and wild
Parents should never have to lose a child
Wind talks for me now
Tells me things that I don’t know
I pray now wherever I go
I pray now wherever I go
The tsunami came and all angels had to fly
To help all them souls into the sky
Angel in my sleep he said he had to go
He said to pray wherever I go
I pray now wherever I go I pray now wherever I go |

Spring is right around the corner One last snow in this go ‘round Wind chimes are singin’ and a dancin’ ‘bout a blizzard blowin’ in at sundown
I thought I’d walk along the willows And move my shadow through the trees An’ count all my easy blessings An’ scout out a rabbit from my knees
It’s easy to imagine As I move my shadow through the trees An’ count all my easy blessings That you are right here with me
It’s easy to imagine As I move my shadow through the trees An’ count all my easy blessings That you are right here with me
It was easy to imagine As I move my shadow through the trees And I count all my easy blessings That you are right here with me |

Cat cry came over the mountain
In the cold air that’s a long way to go
Horses were restless and noisy
But they calmed with the first sight of snow
He went to split some firewood
As the blizzard came crashing down
It was blowing so hard and so heavy
Immense, it covered all the ground
The wind it ripped through the night
Wind ripped through the night
It snowed for nights and days
And the horses were lost in the white
Mountain cats they came callin’
On the wind of the night
They went out to fetch more firewood
The blizzard was still crashing down
Red blood in the white snow
No horses to be found
And the wind ripped through the night
Wind ripped through the night |

Nights turn cold Nothing you can do Nights turn cold Ain’t nothing you can do Nights turn cold Baby don’t want you
I drink whiskey When I can’t stand myself I drink whiskey When I can’t stand myself Nights turn cold Sitting on a night shelf
Door is open The door is closed Door is open That door is closed Nights turn cold She won’t step out our her clothes
I don’t see right Cause a woman stole my eyes I don’t see right Cause a woman stole my eyes Nights turn cold As I define my alibis
Nights turn cold Nothing you can do Nights turn cold Ain’t a damned thing you can do Nights turn cold Baby don’t want you |

Sioux City Sue Revisited
Friday night stockyard bars at Sioux City
A blues band down at Rhonda’s Speak Easy
At the Cattlemen’s bartender’s smothering one of 5
customers
Pretty woman drunk and so sad
I think she may be Sioux
City Sue
Well my hand is broke from a fight I may have
picked
The stockyards have beat me again
The fog from the river is a curtain for an actress
Pretty woman drunk and so sad
I think she may be Sioux
City Sue
I listen but the whiskey is waxing my ears
She said nothing is pretty anymore
The manure painted panels have given up their
white
Says that pretty woman drunk and so sad
I think she may be Sioux
City Sue
I laid down in the snow and in my stock trailer
I locked the keys in my pickup truck
She found a blanket in her car covered me up as
she left
Such a pretty woman drunk and so sad
I think she may be Sioux City Sue
Sioux City Sue
Sioux City Sue
Ain’t no girl sweet as my sweet Sioux City Sue |

There’s a frozen pond on the hillside
That’s lit up from the icy winter moon
And there’s a pickup moving slow
Down the gravel road
Snow plow ain’t left him too much room
There’s a blizzard comin’
You can feel it in your bones
East wind blowin’ it in
Should be headed home
You should be headed home
Horses are white from the snow, not movin’
The only dark is in their eyes
Dog in the ditch is huntin’ rabbit
Catches a lame one and it cries
There’s a blizzard comin’
You can feel it in your bones
East wind is blowin’ it in
You should be headed home
You should be headed home
There’s an ice shack on that small pond
Smoke from a stove curls in the air
They must be catchin’ some big fish
Or there wouldn’t be no one there
There’s a blizzard comin’
You can feel it in your bones
East wind is blowin’ it in
You should be headed home
You should be headed home
You should be headed home |

Count all the baby curls and the white snowflakes
Have a small puppy, do whatever it takes
Taste it like ice cream or smell it like the rain
Hold it so tightly you cry out in pain
Whatever you do, live life hard
Play like you’ll always draw the winning card
Love long and never quit
Keep your soul strong, that’s most all of it
Don’t settle for walking if you want to run
Stand up to a bully if it needs to be done
Remember the fallen and play hard for your teams
Climb all your mountains and echo all your dreams
Whatever you do, live life hard
Play like you’ll always draw a winning card
Love long and never quit
Keep your soul strong, that’s most all of it
Keep your soul strong, that’s most all of it |

Gimme that sweet kiss That I'm gonna miss That's wet and warm Like a log cabin in a snowstorm
Let's have some red wine Take our sweet time Let the fires steam this place Feel it red hot on your face
We don't have forever But I will never Forget the light In your eyes tonight
Gimme that sweet kiss That I'm gonna miss That's wet and warm Like a log cabin in a snowstorm
Gimme that sweet kiss That I'm gonna miss Gimme that sweet kiss That I'm gonna miss |

There's frost on the windowpanes Snow blowin' under the door It's the second week in April Shouldn't be winter anymore My little bro's talkin' desperate Like he's gonna take out a bank I understand where he's comin' from Four-dollar fuel in his tank
We're tryin' to fly around here On a wing and prayer
My sweetheart is limpin' Oh she's got a bad wheel Got to go to six different appointments It's a medical referral deal Got two kids in college Thank God they're both tough Like to give them some spending money But around here there just ain't enough
We're tryin' to fly around here On a wing and a prayer We're just tryin' to fly around here On a wing and a prayer |

The snow is coming and the wind is blowing You can hear it howlin’ through the trees Ya keep the fire hot and you stay inside When the snow is past your knees
House lights are yellow on the snow As I walk outside and hear the north wind blow
The snow is coming and the wind is blowing You can hear it howlin’ through the trees Ya keep the fire hot and you stay inside When the snow is past your knees
House lights are yellow on the snow As I walk outside and hear the north wind blow
The snow is coming and the wind is blowing You can hear it howlin’ through the trees Ya keep the fire hot and you stay inside When the snow is past your knees |

Dog Eat Dog
It’s all you can do
Just getting on
When you find bloody footprints
In the snow at dawn
There’s no mistaking You’re taken for a bump on a log
When the cat’s got your tongue
And it’s dog-eat-dog
Roses are dead now
And hanging on the wall
And the words are all different now
Since you took that fall
There’s no mistaking
You’ve taken a long hard look at God
But the cat’s got your tongue
It’s dog-eat-dog
There’s no mistaking
Words are taken as cliché
Dog-eat-dog is the cat’s meow today |

Woman’s Intuition
She’s a well-preserved woman
Who’s fighting off getting old
She likes pretty snowstorms
She don’t like the cold
She believes in woman’s intuition
Men’s tendency for lies
So I better be telling her the truth
When I look in her eyes
She’s a well-meaning woman
Who don’t like talking mean
She talks good of other people
Or she don’t say a thing
She believes in that woman’s intuition
And men’s tendency for lies
So I better be telling her the truth
When I look in her eyes
Well I better be telling her the truth
When I look in her eyes |

The Wind Waits
Soft sunrise pink on the mountains
And the wind waits for you
Sleepless eyes darkness in retreat
And the wind waits for you
But I’m leaving down the byways and the highways
Down roads that have no names
My love will linger like the snowflakes a-fallin’
With no one to blame
But the wind waits for you
The wind waits for you
Pine smoke rising sun on the shadows
Still the wind waits for you
I know you’re coming I found wings
And I can’t wait for you
I’m leaving down the byways and the highways
Down roads that have no names
My love will linger like the snowflakes a-fallin’
There’s no one to blame
But the wind waits for you Oh the wind waits for you |
