Cold Lonesome Wind

It's after two, and it just started to rain

Lord the wind is blowin' like an ol' freight train

A distant thunder stirs me from my bed

And all those longin' memories that I once thought was

dead

Cold lonesome wind, take me back home

Back to the country where I belong

Help me relive, those days again

Take me back home, cold lonesome wind

My dad made sure we never missed a meal

He worked those hours long and hard to keep up on the

bills

My mother she meant everything to him

And it's nights like this that really start me missin'

both of them

(2x)

The years have passed and we've all moved away

Despite of everything that's gone, we're all doin' ok

On certain lonesome stormy nights, I can still be found

Searching through the memories of that little oil town

Cold lonesome wind, take me back home

Back to the country where I belong

Help me relive, those days again

Take me back home, cold lonesome wind

My dad made sure we never missed a meal

He worked those hours long and hard to keep up on the

bills

My mother she meant everything to him

And it's nights like this that really start me missin'

both of them

Take me back home, cold lonesome wind
