Urge For Going Lyrics - Jody Miller

I awoke today and found the frost perched on the town 

It hovered in a frozen sky then and gobbled summer down 

When the sun turns traitor cold and all the trees are shivering in a naked row 

I get the urge for going but I never seem to go 

I met a boy in summertime he had summer-colored skin 

Not another girl in town my darling's heart could win 

When the leaves fell trembling down 

Bully winds did push their faces in the snow 

He got the urge for going and I had to let him go 

He got the urge for going when the meadow grass was turning brown 

Summertime was falling down and winter's closing in 

Now the warriors of winter gave a cold triumphant shout 

And all that stays is dying all that lives is gettin' out 

See the geese in chevron flight flapping and racing on before the snow 

They got the urge for going they've got the wings to go 

I'd like to call back summertime and have her stay for just a month or so 

But she's got the urge for going so I guess she'll have to go 

And I get the urge for going when the meadow grass is turning brown 

Summertime is falling down and winter's closing in
