Must be a cold front coming
'Cause I saw the eastbound C&O
And the coal cars were dusted
With a half inch of snow
And that boy'll drive me crazy
Don't know what I'll do with him
And school'll be out tomorrow
If that cold front comes in
Calling out
To the dying daylight
With the shadows of the mountains
Bringing on the night
And the old folks like to whisper
He favors your side in his face
And when he gets a little older
He's gonna lead a merry chase
When I'm all alone it's all right
It isn't going to wound my pride
If anyone can claim they're all right
So can I
So can I
And I wrecked the El Camino
It would have been DWI
So I just walked off and left it
Laying on its side
The troopers found it in the morning
And they said it's purely luck I wasn't killed
I probably ought to quit my drinking
But I don't believe I will
When I'm all alone it's all right
It isn't going to wound my pride
If anyone can claim they're all right
So can I
So can I
He used to ask about you
About a million times a day
I got so tired of trying to answer
I just turned my head away
Now he don't pay me much attention
And he's not asking anymore
I guess he'd probably know you
If you walked back in the door
Calling out
To the empty night
Watching as the snowflakes
Come dancing round the light
Dancing up against the window
It's like they're peeking through the glass
And they hover for a moment
And then they fall on past
Calling out
