Blue Norther

When you see that ol' blue norther
like a flood surge 'cross the sky
and your heart is crossed by shadow
I can see it in your eyes
Look to the sunset
turning leaden by degrees
See how that raw wind
sends a shiver through the trees

When you see that ol' blue norther
you know winter's closing fast
and it's gonna be a cold/long one
and it's probably your last
look to your family
look to your home
look to the only things
that you've ever really known
cause you're feeling in your bones
that ol' blue norther

When you see that norther trailing
desolation in its train
like the tip of winter's iceberg
that's come crashing down the plains —
look to your family
look to your home
look to the only things
that you've ever really known
cause you're feeling in your bones
that ol' blue norther

look to your family
look to your home
look to the only things
that you've ever really known
cause you're feeling in your bones
that ol' blue norther
that ol' blue norther
that ol' blue norther
