Ridin' the storm out, waitin' for the thaw out
On a full moon night in the Rocky Mountain winter
My wine bottle's low, watching for the snow
Thinkin' about what I've been missin' in the city

And I'm not missin' a thing
Watchin' the full moon crossing the range
Ridin' the storm out
Ridin' the storm out

My lady's beside me, she's there to guide me
She says that alone we've finally found home
The wind outside is frightening
but it's kinder than the lightning life in the city
It's a hard life to live but it gives back what you give
