Colder Weather

She'd trade Colorado if he'd take her with him

Closes the door before the winter lets the cold in

And wonders if her love is strong enough to make him stay

She's answered by the tail lights, shinin' through the window pane

He said, "I wanna see you again

But I'm stuck in colder weather

Maybe tomorrow will be better

Can I call you then?"

She said, "You're a ramblin' man"

And you ain't ever gonna change

You got a gypsy soul to blame

And you were born for leavin'"

At a truck stop diner just outside of Lincoln

The night is black as the coffee he was drinkin'

And in waitress' eyes he sees the same ol' light is shinin'

He thinks of Colorado and the girl he left behind him

He said, "I wanna see you again

But I'm stuck in colder weather

Maybe tomorrow will be better

Can I call you then?"

She said, "You're a ramblin' man

And you ain't never gonna change

You got a gypsy soul to blame

And you were born for leavin'", born for leavin'

Well, it's a windin' road when you're in the lost and found

You're a lover, I'm a runner and we go 'round and 'round

And I love you but I leave ya, I don't want you but I need ya

You know it's you that calls me back here, baby

Oh, I wanna see you again

But I'm stuck in colder weather

Maybe tomorrow will be better

Can I call you then?

'Cause I'm a ramblin' man

(I ain't ever gonna change) I ain't ever gonna change

Gotta gypsy soul to blame

And I was born for leavin'

Born for leavin'

When I close my eyes, I see you

No matter where I am

I can smell your perfume through these whisperin' pines

I'm with your ghost again

It's a shame about the weather

But I know soon we'll be together

And I can't wait 'til then

I can't wait 'til then
