The ragged clothes you wore

Made you look like a hobo, ten to four

The neighbors pound the floor

We're cracking up 'til we couldn't take no more

From you, the wine, the heater glow

Warming up under icy Midwest skies

And I would have left here long ago

But knowing you means there's always some surprise

We're done with keeping score

Flipping through all your records across the floor

The snow has blocked the door

We played them all and we'll play a couple more

From you, the wine, the heater glow

Warming up under icy Midwest skies

And I would have left here long ago

But knowing you means there's always some surprise

So I wrote it down, kept the night around

Kept it right here with me

Wrote it down, kept the night around

Kept it right here with me, right here with me

The ragged clothes you wore

Made you look like a hobo, ten to four

The neighbors pound the floor

We're cracking up 'til we couldn't take no more

From you, the wine, the heater glow

Warming up under icy Midwest skies

And I would have left here long ago

But knowing you means there's always some surprise
