Can't Remember Summer

There's a factory standin' empty

Where we built your Chevrolet

And we sent our kids to college

On a 40 hour wage

But now the windows all are broken

There's graffiti on the walls

And the kids came home from college

And took a job down at the mall

And the winter is getting longer

And this town is frozen up

And I can't remember summer

It feels like spring may never come

There's a half full whiskey bottle

On the table by my bed

And there's a hollow in the pillow

Where she used to lay her head

And all the dreams

And all the memories

Faded pictures in crooked frames

Hang in silence down the hallway

In the chill of what remains

Now the winter is getting colder

And my heart is frozen up

And I can't remember summer

It feels like spring may never come

Shades of hopeless

On the faces

Of the souls

Who stand in line

And holy Jesus hangs on crosses

And I hear mother mary cryin'

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Soon it all will disappear

Buried under the snows of winter

Just like we all were never here
