lyrics

It's nine below, and my pipes are freezin'
I wish I was somewhere, summer breezin'
Instead I'm on my damn hands and knees
And trying to thaw'em with an old hair dryer
Just last night I near broke my neck
Shoveling snow, I forgot to check
If the ice below was still slick as heck
Turns out it was

It's been a long, cold winter
And I'm not having any fun
It's been a long, cold winter
And I'm counting down the days until it's done

It's mostly dark, it's always cold
You get used to feeling about twice as old
Boxed wine, TV, and staying home
That's a pretty good friday night
On the flip-side you get real tough
Forget you ever even used to sweat small stuff
And when the getting's hard or the going's rough
You know you can endure

It's been a long, cold winter
And I'm not having any fun
It's been a long, cold winter
And I'm counting down the days until it's done

I ain't dead yet and they say that makes you stronger
But it's hard to tell, I mostly feel the same
And I sometimes think I can't take this much longer
But it's hard to picture living any other way

Without these long, cold winters
When I'm not having any fun
Without these long, cold winters
And I'm counting down the days until it's done
I need these long, cold winters
I need not having any fun
So bless these long, cold winters
'Cause they've made me into who I have become

When it's nine below and my pipes are freezin'
I wish I was somewhere, summer breezin'
Instead I'm on my damn hands and knees
And trying to thaw'em with an old hair dryer
