"Wintering (Country Version)" lyrics

She pulls in the drive with a pack of Coors Lights
Like it's time to celebrate
I've got a bad habit of using the same four chords
In every song I play
Yeah, that's old Phil and he's full of old phrases
Not all of which I can repeat
Last time he got online, it was '03

And now I'm talkin' with Hannah, used to play the piano
8th grade, "Come Sail Away"
Ryan likes rusted out cars, there's a couple in the driveway
Dad's an Elton John on cassette kind of guy
Though he never can remember the words
Still, he hums along to my songs that he hasn't heard

I come home on the 23rd
I drive out on the 23rd

Well, I bumped into Vicky in the Walmart
And she asked how the family's been
I said, "Andy's in London and Autumn is acting again"
Answer questions 'bout ex's while Chrissy confesses
That she's gotta go do some work
Better not point that camera at grandma
'Cause she'll have a few words

I get home on the 23rd
I drive out on the 23rd

Now, grandma's not a fan of that line about her
She don't wanna be in my song at all
Hates cameras and pictures and the cold and the end of fall
Now stop this fussin', I wanna have a discussion
Christmas comes only once a year
I just came for the stuffin' not to argue 'bout nothin', but mark my words

I'll be home on the 23rd
I drive out on the 23rd
Yeah, I'll be there on the 23rd
