I've tried to fix the fire but you know the damn thing's too old
It's been months now since we heard from our mary
I wonder if she ever made the coast
She and her young man they both moved out there
But I sure hope they write just to let us know
And me I'm getting stronger by the minute
My wife's expecting but I hope she can wait
Cause this winter looks like it's gonna be another bad one
But spring'll soon be here
Oh god I hope it's not late
Ma and pa lived here and theirs before them
Tried their hardest to make it a home
Seems so long now since they passed over
Hope my children'll try to make it their own
The roof is leaking and the wind is howling
Kinds are crying 'cause the sheets are so cold
I woke this morning found my hands were frozen
I've tried to fix the fire but you know the damn thing's too old
And me I'm getting stronger by the minute
My wife's expecting but I hope she can wait
Cause this winter looks like it's gonna be another bad one
But spring'll soon be here
Oh god I hope it's not late
