This is the first blues song I wrote. It's a mostly true story with a few embellishments that my wife questioned.
Lyrics:
I'm sitting here watching / watching the temperature go down
I'm sitting here watching / watching the wind blow around
And, I'm too tired to go out into the cold
I got my blanket pulled up around my nose
I got my wool socks covering all of my toes
and I'm too tired to go out into the cold
I got my dog waiting sitting next to the door
I got my boots and my hat by him on the floor
And I'm too tired to go out into the cold
I filled my beverage and made it a double shot
Put a log on the fire to make sure it stays hot
And I'm too tired to go out into the cold.
It's time to go to bed and join my lady up there
The dog will join us and she won't notice or care
Cause I'm too tired to go out into the cold
