lyrics

The weather took a turn
In the middle of the night
The summer heat had long been left behind

I've got a pile of unwrapped gifts
Lining the passenger seat
When I get home I hope she's waiting for me

Because things didn't go my way
When I was down in Raleigh
I never got the tell her the whole story

So I'll turn up the radio
And I'll censor myself to the slurs in the song
But I will sing along

As the snow falls past the smokestacks
The empty bars and the cars that crash in the night
Oh I will try
To get to North Riverside

But I can't see the skyline lights
Through this fucking snow tonight
I think that I will see the sun
Before I see the one I love

And when I try to call she won't pick up
I try to wish her "Merry Christmas"
I can't say that I blame her when she won't pick up...
