Colder Weather

(album: You Get What You Give - 2010)

She'd trade Colorado if he'd take her with him
Closes the door before the winter lets the cold in
And wonders if her love is strong enough to make him stay
She's answered by the tail lights shining through the window pane

[Chorus:]
He said I wanna see you again
But I'm stuck in colder weather
Maybe tomorrow will be better
Can I call you then?
She said you're rambling man
You ain't ever gonna change
You got a gypsy soul to blame
And you were born for leaving

At a truck stop diner just outside of Lincoln
The night is black as the coffee he was drinking
And in the waitress' eyes he sees the same ol' light a-shining
He thinks of Colorado and the girl he left behind him

[Chorus:]
He said I wanna see you again
But I'm stuck in colder weather
Maybe tomorrow will be better
Can I call you then?
She said you're rambling man
You ain't ever gonna change
You got a gypsy soul to blame
And you were born for leaving (born for leavin')

Well, it's a winding road
When you're in the lost and found
You're a lover – I'm a runner
And we go 'round 'n 'round
And I love you but I leave you
I don't want you but I need you
You know it's you that calls me back here, baby

Oh I wanna see you again
But I'm stuck in colder weather
Maybe tomorrow will be better
Can I call you then?
Cause I'm a rambling man
I ain't ever gonna change (I ain't ever gonna change)
I got a gypsy soul to blame
And I was born for leaving (born for leavin')

When I close my eyes I see you
No matter where I am
I can smell your perfume through these whispering pines
I'm with your ghost again
It's a shame about the weather
But I know soon we'll be together
And I can't wait 'til then
I can't wait 'til then
