Roadrunner

Dead of winter in Minnesota

It's gettin' cold out and my baby's gettin' colder

She asked me to stay, now I'm in the way

New Orleans is so far away and I'm busted

Snow is fallin', the mercury is droppin'

Ain't got no money and I'm losin' my honey

This cold, cold air's so hard to breathe

And I know when it's time to leave so I'm a-goin'

You don't need me anyway

Love was never meant to be a game

Oh, well, the trees are talkin', the wind is burnin'

My tank is empty and my engine is churnin'

Moments hang like stars in the sky

You try to catch 'em, boy, they're bound to pass you by

'Cause I'm a roadrunner, an honest lover

I ain't worried 'cause I'll find me another

If you find someone to hold

Don't you trade it for silver

No, don't you trade it for gold

Dead of winter in Minnesota

It's gettin' cold out and my baby's gettin' colder
