Lyrics: Mark Erelli. Hope & Other Casualties. Snowed In.


The weatherman warned me
Stay off the road tonight
If you know what's best
Mercury is falling
There's a storm rolling in
From the Midwest

He called for two feet of snow
So I turned off my radio
I'd heard enough
I'm gonna drive all night
To be snowed in with the woman I love

Forty miles an hour
From Connecticut to Maine
That's as fast as I can go
Hazard lights flashing
On the cars spinning out
By the side of the road

You might think I'm crazy
But if you ever met my baby
You'd know why I'm out here in this stuff
I'm gonna drive all night
To be snowed in with the woman I love

When we wake up in the morning
And they haven't cleared the streets
And everyone is digging out after the storm
Honey call in sick instead
Climb back in bed
I know a thing or two bound to keep us warm

I had a couple close calls
White knuckles on the wheel
And my nerves are frayed
But she's gonna throw her arms around me
Flash those baby blues
And all my worries are just gonna melt away

Now I'm pulling in the drive
I should be glad to be alive
But she is all I'm thinking of
You know I drove all night
You know I drove all night
You know I drove all night
To be snowed in with the woman I love
