Well it's gonna be cold
It's gonna be colder
It's gonna be a fuckin' freezing winter
.
I'm scared my baby's gonna leave me
I cannot provide for her
I'm scared she's gonna leave before the river freeze
She says she can take it no more
Now I'm grovelling here on the floor
but she just walked past out the door
Saying that we will still be friends
but she met this guy Sven with a dog team of 24
Well it's gonna be cold
It's gonna be colder
It's gonna be a fuckin' freezing winter
It's impossible to relax here
My numb fingers can't grab this axe here
No more laying in the furs with my lady
I feel like a skinned baby
One day she passed by me she was riding on a sled
turns out she'd left Sven for some guy named Fred
Both of them laughed at my discontent
which fired it to a steely malintent
It's time to leave before I see red
and really start to lose my head
Right now it's filled with southern dreams: baby peaches on the tree
But now hypothermia's got me
It's been cold
and it's been colder
It's really been a fucking freezing winter
And now I'm just bones
