Joe Purdy - Santa Rosa In the Snow Lyrics
Happy New Year Santa Rosa here I amI was brought in by the weather and the coldI was heading towards the West to find the sandI guess I'll have to settle for the snowAnd I am just a stranger to this townI'm lonely and I'm restless and I'm stuckAnd I wish I knew a way to get back downAnd I wish I had a shovel in this truckAnd the state police won't let me on the streetI told 'em my story - they don't careThere's an old dog just lying at the feetOf a girl who once wore flowers in her hairAnd my heart lies fifty miles aheadUnderneath a bridge just out of sightWhere she sits beneath the covers of a bedWhere she waits for me to meet her in the nightAnd this old town was named after a roseThat blooms along the hillside in the cold groundBut my heart has been broken and it's closedLike the freeway that would take me out of townAnd just because I ain't got no regretsThat don't mean I didn't get it wrongMy love is like a homemade Summer dressAnd I am just a lonely Winter songI dust off the snowflakes from the hoodAnd I talk to an old friend on the phoneShe says, "I think that the calm could do you goodYou know you've been driving for so long"So Happy New Years babe, I guess this is goodbyeAnd I hope that you find someone you can holdAnd if you hear that midnight whistle cryPlease think of me in Santa Rosa in the snow
