Well, the winds are howling on the ridge tonightLong to see such a beautiful sightDrink a little something that'll get you feeling rightCause outside the railing's frozeWell, I'm gonna take a trip down a long back roadCome to a cabin with a one-ton doorSmoke rollin' out that old wood stoveLit by candlelightWell, I'm gonna see my baby on the very first snowSit around and talk about what we knowSippin' on whiskey and a cup of joeGettin' high on the national debtWooden floor's creakin' beneath my bedAnd all blood's runnin' to my headI'm thinkin' about what my mama saidAnd I'm tryin' to forgetWell, the sun's about to snowfall and makes me smileA pipe dream makes it all worthwhileHope my truck makes the extra mileUp that ridgeline roadI could be huntin', I could be trappin'Should be fishin' and I should be nabbin'Instead I find myself mappin' my way back home to youWell, I'm gonna see my baby on the very first snowSit around and talk about what we knowSippin' on whiskey and a cup of joeGettin' high on the national debtWooden floor's creakin' beneath my bedAnd all blood's runnin' to my headI'm thinkin' about what my mama saidAnd I'm tryin' to forgetWoke up from my * dreamSomethin's wet, so it seemsSomethin' about lovin' and nicotineThat will make your thoughts go wildGet up, shower, comb my hairGo to work in despairDamn Sandman, he did me wrongWhen I was a kidWhen I went to sleepI'll get up, shower, comb my hairGo to work in despairDamn Sandman, he did me wrongWhen I went to sleep
