22nd Winter

[Verse 1]
Levi's been in the yard all day
Digging at a mound of snow
See how the winter's taken good ol' boys
And turned 'em into Eskimos
I ain't ever smoked in an Igloo
And I ain't ever seen the [beat?]
And I ain't ever spent the harsh of the winter
With a girl that's half as sweet as you

[Verse 2]
Sally Ann Mountain is mule-faced steep
And covered in a sheet of ice
And we're already here and the fire's warm
So I reckon we should stay the night
Very Old Barton and Guinness on the porch
It's cold enough to keep 'em chill
And for a pair of thieves like you and me
I believe that's a damn good meal

[Chorus]
I thought I had it to a science but I never really had a clue
But I never took a quarrel with learning 'bout a thing or two
About a thing as fine as you

[Bridge]
Now the wind outside is freezing
And it's howling like a gyp
But I'll hold you close and keep you warm
Against its winter whip

[Verse 3]
Now the Barton's gone and the snow moved on
And the Dogwood blossoms [nigh?]
It'd be a shame to waste this flame
Don't let your good love die
You nearly knocked me over
You nearly brought me to my knees
When you turned around at the cabin door
And said, "Honey will you follow me?"

[Chorus]
I thought I had it to a science but I never really had a clue
But I never took a quarrel with learning 'bout a thing or two
About a thing as fine as you
