“North For The Winter”
By: Steve Everett
Verse 1
Tell me a lie / One that sounds so true
I could take it to my grave / Even if there were no proof
Just give me something / I can hold on to
In a world that believes in nothing / I chose to believe in you
Pre-Chorus
But you made me foolish / When you took what you’d need
And jumped out my window / Like a kid with a knotted sheet
Chorus
So I’m gonna go north for the winter
Where they don’t know my name
Run til the temperatures change
North for the winter hoppin’ train to train
And hope that the cold dulls the pain
And strengthens my name
And changes my frame
Verse 2
Give me a courage / No one’s ever seen
Carve it out of a mountain / Let it burn like gasoline
So I can move forward / To fight the fear in me
Become the men I admire / Not the one that you thought I’d be
Bridge
Every place that I see
Is a memory made with you next to me
And everyone that I know in this town
Asks me why you’re not around
