Blizzard - Ellis Paul

Weather advisory, one for the diaries
Windy and cold so stay off the road 
It's bitter outside your windows 
Stack your blankets, light your candles 
There isn't a phone booth, and ain't it the cold truth 
It's a lonely old highway, just me and the plows 
Making the most of their payday 
Laying salt in the wounds of the roadways 

(chorus)
For your bed I'll beat the cold,
With a blizzard in my headlights, or an avalanche in the road 
Snow blinds every road sign,

So I'm counting the miles as I'm going 
There's a shroud of black ice forming 
The radio sends out ample warning...
Up on the next hill, a trailer truck load spilled It spun in a jacknife, and now it's a still life 
Framed by the flares and the cruisers, Orange coats and one sore loser... 

(chorus) 

In hindsight, it's been a long night 
And where I was was not so cold 
Another sound bite off the dash lights 
It's more than a foot or so they're told 
Two hundred miles to Chicago, my eyes froze to the road 
Mesmerized as the windshield collides with the snow...
