Blizzard Lyrics - Singles - Ellis Paul

Weather advisory, one for the diaries 

Windy and cold so stay off the road 

It's bitter outside your windows 

Stack your blankets, light your candles 

There isn't a phone booth, and ain't it the cold truth 

It's a lonely old highway, just me and the plows 

Making the most of their payday 

Laying salt in the wounds of the roadways 

(chorus) 

For your bed I'll beat the cold, 

With a blizzard in my headlights, or an avalanche in the road 

Snow blinds every road sign, 

So I'm counting the miles as I'm going 

There's a shroud of black ice forming 

The radio sends out ample warning... 

Up on the next hill, a trailer truck load spilled it spun in a jacknife, and now it's a still life 

Framed by the flares and the cruisers, orange coats and one sore loser... 

(chorus) 

In hindsight, it's been a long night 

And where I was was not so cold 

Another sound bite off the dash lights 

It's more than a foot or so they're told 

Two hundred miles to chicago, my eyes froze to the road 

Mesmerized as the windshield collides with the snow... 

Weather advisory, one for the diaries 

Windy and cold so stay off the road
