Snowed In lyrics
Last winter I was in Chicago and the weather was awfully bad
Last winter I was in Chicago, and the weather was awfully bad
They say I was stuck in China Town, for the worst winter they ever had
"I m gonna go on right here
And see if I can get this truck started right quick"
"These old shoes ain t ready for the winter"
"Oh, I m bout to fall an break my neck here in a minute, buddy
"See if I can get this key in this door here"
"I know it don t lock it, lock, it done froze up on me an "
"Lock it won t act right, it already half-tore up anyhow"
"Yeah, I got it now, I m gon get here an try to crank this old thing"
"An pat the accelerator a little bit"
"Yeah, I almost got it"
"Pat the accelerator a little bit more"
"It s cold, that wind just whistlin out there"
"Oh it sure cold weather out here"
"You get frostbite out here"
"Try it one more time"
"Ya all, it ain t gonna start"
Yeah, I don t mind a little snow, an I can handle rain
I say, I don t mind a little snow, an I can handle a little rain
Now I don t mind bein cold but this winter, man it s sure insane
"If I go now hit this old gas station,
I think I can get me somebody to"
"Walk on down the street here, bout a block"
"See if I can, get somebody to give me a boost off here an get my battery charged"
"Oh man, this stuff is in a mess here!"
"I m gonna fall, break my neck"
"Oh get on by man, I m gonna get out your way, I m in the street"
"I m tryin to walk here, ya all runnin these damn trucks an cars an goin on"
"Come on by man"
"Oh man, the station is done closed!"
Now the gas station was closed, and the snow was eight feet tall
Now the gas station had closed, hm, and the snow was eight feet tall
The telephone cable was down, an you couldn t even make a call
You couldn t go out for groceries, hm, nobody would deliver to you
I said, you couldn t go out for groceries, nobody would deliver to you
In a bad situation like that, what in the hell, ya all, what-a I m suppose to do?
"Yeah, it s a tough winter, I tell ya"
"I go back out here one more time an see if I get this, thing started right here"
"Old battery might be done be at the level, I might get it started now"
"Besides, I m about to fall"
"Man, I m gonna tell ya, I m a, whew!"
"Rough, rough here in Chicago!"
"Wanna get on back across that desert in Los Angeles, somewhere"
"Florida somewhere"
"If I can get outta here, I know I m snowed in"
"Try to crank this damn thing one more time"
"I think I can get it to crank, I hope so"
"Let me see if I can get it cranked"
The Hawk lyrics
I remember when I was snowed in and up at old Shire town
I m sure the next tour take me right back through that town
Snow was up to your shoulders man and that ain t no lie
Chicago wasn t so cold, it would make a Polar Bear cry
Now when you hear the people talk about their bird called The Hawk
Now I m gonna tell ya somethin that ll make you let out a squawk
Now where I live the weather s mostly warm
We don t have to worry about no snow or if we have a storm
But Shire town sits on the shores of a lake
And when that hawk flaps his wings it make you shiver an shake
Now when you hear the people talk about their bird called The Hawk
Man, I m tellin ya one thing, they just let out a squawk
But man, you should a been there in the winter of 78
You couldn t catch a cab down on state and lake
Now, you know that s bad, cause that s right in the heart of town
And it was so bad the Mayor had to close the whole town down
Now when you hear the people talk about their bird called The Hawk
Oh man, I tell you, tell you, let out a squawk
Stormy Monday lyrics
They called it stormy Monday
The Tuesday s just as bad
They called it stormy Monday
But Tuesday s just as bad
Wednesday s worse
Right on to Thursday
Both so sad
You know the eagle flies on Friday
Saturday I go out to play, baby
The eagle flies on Friday
Saturday, Saturday I go out to play, babe
Please, listen to me love
Sunday I go to church
And I kneel right down and start to pray
And this is what I tell em now, listen now
I m cryin , Lord, haver mercy, Lord, have mercy on me, yeah
I m cryin , Lord, haver mercy, Lord, have mercy on me, yeah
Listen love, you know I m tryin to find my baby
Won t somebody out there, please help me out now?
Alright, we re gonna do it one more time
Just see, hold on time, yeah
They called it stormy Monday
But Tuesday s just as bad
They called it stormy Monday
But Tuesday s just as bad
Wednesday s worse
Right on to Thursday
