OLD MAN WINTER'S RAWHIDE
Brenn HillRed Cliffs Press Music (BMI)

Verse 1:
Calvin' early on the faultline memories of summertime
And a warm lover come and flood your mind
As the snow begins to fall
Green grass on the south slope
And a warm sun gives you false hope
Harsh winter has your back up against the wall

Chorus:
But you're breakin' young horses in the deep snow
Pull up your collar let the wind blow
There's a paycheck waitin' for you on the other side
Of Old Man Winter's rawhide

Verse 2:
You lose a few on a bitter cold night
A few more in the clear moonlight
To a lion livin' down low along the old fenceline
You fall asleep in the old feed truck
Spend the whole day getting' unstuck
With an achin' back and a lost love on your mind

Repeat Chorus

Bridge:
Like fine steel on a grindstone
You get sharper with age
Weather forged and windblown
Like an old bent sage

Verse 3:
It's really comin' down hard now
You'll find your way through somehow
Bring her back home put her on the sunny south side
Ride your broncy colt through the deep snow
Pull up your collar let the wind blow
There's a paycheck waitin' for you on the other side
Of Old Man Winter's Rawhide
