[Instrumental intro] [Verse 1] I don't miss getting up early to shovel snow I don't miss bundling up 'cause it's five below I don't miss driving and sliding around And snow fallin' all over town [Verse 2] I don't miss my Carhartt and wearing long johns Or scraping the ice off my windshield at dawn Freezin' my buns, losing sense in my toes Or seein' my breath and my cheeks like a rose [Chorus] I miss my friends Who I left up north The air might be cold But they fill me with warmth All my winter companions In their scarfs and gloves In those snow drift canyons Are by buddies and loves [Verse 3] But I'm sitting on the beach at Christmas And watching New Year's stars under palms I drive with the top down in February And Mardi Gras celebrations are warm [Bridge] You can keep your skis And toboggans I prefer Margaritas and sand No hot chocolate by the fire I'll sit by the pool With a beer in my hand [Instrumental] [Chorus] I miss my friends Who I left up north The air might be cold But they fill me with warmth All my winter companions In their scarfs and gloves In those snow drift canyons Are by buddies and loves [Verse 4] But I'm sitting on the beach at Christmas And watching New Year's stars under palms I drive with the top down in February And Mardi Gras celebrations are warm [Outro] [Spoken] [Fade out] You've got frost heaves, pot holes, black ice, slush, sleet, snow drifts, ice dams, cold snaps, blizzards, avalanches, thundersnow, boots, galoshes, mittens, earmuffs, anti-freeze, snow tires, chains, studs, whiteouts, snow days, flurries, ice storms, snow shovels, snow blowers, snow plows...
