Feb 2022 country folk acoustic snow
We got a lot of snow last week (as did most of us Americans, I'm guessing.) Didn't quite get six feet, but why have artistic license if you're not gonna use it?
Waking through snow reaching up to my ears
The most damn snow we've had in years
Trying to get back to the fireside
My lips are turning purple and my cheeks are all red
If I don't get back I'm gonna end up dead
And she can never say that I never tried
I'm working my way home
Feel the cold down to my bones
So I've gotta get back to the place she waits
The snow's been falling for days on end
The weatherman says it's gonna start again
And maybe we should all get in our homes
But the cows and the goats and the chickens in the yard
Gotta get fed or they will all starve
But I didn't know I'd get stuck out here alone
I'm working my way home
Feel the cold down to my bones
So I've gotta get back to the place she waits
She promised she would wait for me
She'd stoke the fire in the stove
It's the one thing that I know
She waits for me
I'm working my way home
Feel the cold down to my bones
So I've gotta get back to the place she waits
I've gotta get back to the place she waits
I've gotta get back to the place she waits

Love the tune! That chorus is going to be stuck in my head for a while! Lol

I am a fan of story-telling songs like this one... Great lyrics and the guitar tune suits them awesomely... I would say it even has a slight bonfire-feel to it, which is gorgeous.

Sweet description of the difficulties we face when mother nature decides to dump, just dump, all that cold wet white stuff all over everything.

Amen to artistic licence! The lyric totally takes me there and the rootsy tune really suits it. Nice one.

Great work, very homey in the storytelling.

This write gave me a smile. We are dealing with lots of ice...that song needs to be written also. Totally relatable and nice melody, enjoyed it!

This is great. I’m impressed with how quickly you can get out a song and a set of lyrics. And then always have it sound great. Keep ‘em coming

your music always seems to sooth. I love your imagery - the picture is so clear in my head - and of course, I could listen to you play guitar for years LOL I like the structure, the three line verse with the 4 line chorus makes a nice rhythm. Well done, my friend! always a pleasure to listen to your songs!
