cold early morning, eastward driving
sun in the south the buildings shining
heading to work but everything feels alright

slowly the goosebumps creep and quiver
rethink my t-shirt as I shiver o
turn up the heat and wait for the traffic light.

Left lane is moving slow
turn on the radio
don't like the song,
but hey, at least it's one I know.

out on the sidewalk west wind blowing
coat collar up, it's lightly snowing
wish i had boots but really it's not so bad

watching my shadow stretch and shrivel
in passing headlights, cough and sniffle
licking my chapped lips, hoping this cold won't last

faster the flurries fall
cover my footprints all
just as if I was never
even there at all.

nights are getting long
so make the coffee strong
bundle up real tight
we're going out,
the moon is extra bright

out on the road the frost is gleaming
North bound again, my windows steaming
sun in my eyes, but I'm glad to be on my way

shift in my seat, my legs are tingling
wonder if that car could see me singing
blush as they pass, but all i can do is...

stay in my lane and groan
act like I'm not alone,
then I remember,
Hey I'm going home!
oh, I'm going home.
