[Verse 1]
Frost on the beer sign
Rust on the church bell
Wind through the bone-dry pines
Howlin’ like hell
Smoke from the woodstove
Stings in my eyes
Calendar nailed to the wall
Still stuck in July
[Chorus]
This winter’s too long
I’m tired of the gray
Tired of this town
I want summer to come
I want summer to come around
Bare feet on the blacktop
Sweat runnin’ down
Sun burnin’ brown
This winter’s too long
I want summer to come around
[Verse 2]
Salt on the back roads
Graveyard’s all stone and crow
Bar light flickers at noon
Like it’s the only glow
Your coat hangs by my doorway
You been gone since the leaves fell down
I keep talkin’ to your shadow
Till the silence drowns me out
[Chorus]
This winter’s too long
I’m tired of the gray
Tired of this town
I want summer to come
I want summer to come around
Bare feet on the blacktop
Sweat runnin’ down
Sun burnin’ brown
This winter’s too long
I want summer to come around
[Bridge]
If the thaw never finds us
Will I stay here
Frozen proud?
Or drive west till the sky
Starts to open up and shout? (yeah)
[Chorus]
This winter’s too long
I’m tired of the gray
Tired of this town
I want summer to come
I want summer to come around
Bare feet on the blacktop
Sweat runnin’ down
Sun burnin’ brown
This winter’s too long
I want summer to come around
