"Ohio Winter"

🎸 “I Hate the Snow”
Woke up late, truck won’t start
White hell frozen in my yard
Salt on the steps, ice on my soul
Another day buried in the cold
Boots by the door, back already sore
Shovelin’ lies from the weather report


They say it’s pretty, say it’s peaceful
Man, that’s just somethin’ tourists say
I don’t see magic in a blizzard
Just frozen fingers and a bad damn day


I hate the snow, hate the cold
Hate how it seeps into my bones
Hate white roads and black ice lies
Hate the sky when it dumps and smiles
Give me mud, give me rain
Give me anything but this frozen pain
Yeah I hate the snow
Man I hate the snow


Plows go by like they own the street
Bury my driveway six feet deep
Kids are happy, dogs don’t care
I’m cussin’ the sky like it can hear
Every forecast says “just one more”
That’s what they said three storms before


Sun comes out just to mess with me
Melts it enough then refreezes hell
They call it winter wonderland
I call it slippery jail


I hate the snow, hate the cold
Hate how it steals my time and soul
Hate wet socks, hate frozen toes
Hate every flake that ever fell slow
Give me heat, give me sand
Give me a fishing pole  in my hand
Yeah I hate the snow
Man I hate the snow


If heaven’s white I’ll bring a jacket
If hell is warm I’ll take my chances
I’ll trade Christmas cards for sunshine scars
And palm tree bruises and tan lines
Let it fall somewhere else tonight


Shovel… scrape… swear… repeat
Slip and slide down my own damn street


I hate the snow, hate the cold
Hate every year I’m gettin’ old
Hate the freeze, hate the gray
Hate how winter in Ohio overstays
Give me spring, give me hope
Give me nice weather out on my boat
Yeah I hate the snow
I really hate the snow


Forecast says more on the way
Yeah… figures.
