"Last Winter In The Copper Country" lyrics
(feat. Holly Bowling)
Up on the mountain, February ain't a pretty sight
Six feet of snow, nowhere to go, and the long, dark nights
It ain't the cold that gets you, even when it's creeping in
When he's at work and you're all alone, it's the terrible wailing wind
Down in the valley, there's something stirring
Was that voice calling out your name?
And your baby boy is crying, just bounce him on your knee
It's your last winter in the copper country
It's your last winter in the copper country
In summer, you went a-walking, walking and a-singing too
This song was for your unborn child, and they named the road for you
Spring is life returning, summer wide and wild and free
Fall is a tale of what's to come, which is full of frozen tragedy
And the days keep getting shorter, and you can't sleep at night
And your path is getting clearer now as you can plainly see
It's your last winter in the copper country
It's your last winter in the copper country
Tiny little airport, biggest thing in that tiny little town
You could say a prayer and wash your hands by the time that tiny plane set down
I don't remember that airport, nor the summer, spring, or fall
But that winter wind's in my blood, and it makes my skin crawl
Down in the valley, there's something stirring
Was that voice calling out your name?
And your baby boy is crying, just bounce him on your knee
It's your last winter in the copper country
It's your last winter in the copper country
It's your last winter in the copper country
It's your last winter in the copper country
Six feet of snow, nowhere to go, and the long, dark nights
It ain't the cold that gets you, even when it's creeping in
When he's at work and you're all alone, it's the terrible wailing wind
Down in the valley, there's something stirring
Was that voice calling out your name?
And your baby boy is crying, just bounce him on your knee
It's your last winter in the copper country
It's your last winter in the copper country
In summer, you went a-walking, walking and a-singing too
This song was for your unborn child, and they named the road for you
Spring is life returning, summer wide and wild and free
Fall is a tale of what's to come, which is full of frozen tragedy
And the days keep getting shorter, and you can't sleep at night
And your path is getting clearer now as you can plainly see
It's your last winter in the copper country
It's your last winter in the copper country
Tiny little airport, biggest thing in that tiny little town
You could say a prayer and wash your hands by the time that tiny plane set down
I don't remember that airport, nor the summer, spring, or fall
But that winter wind's in my blood, and it makes my skin crawl
Down in the valley, there's something stirring
Was that voice calling out your name?
And your baby boy is crying, just bounce him on your knee
It's your last winter in the copper country
It's your last winter in the copper country
It's your last winter in the copper country
It's your last winter in the copper country
