Adam: "It's almost midnight and I'm all by myself, sitting in my living room in Greenville, MS. My wife and daughter were 6 hours away in Mobile, AL. Well, I suppose this isn't very healthy, but I was pretty lonely. And I get that way, a lot. To add to it, my grandmother had just lost my grandfather to many, many years of being sick. And for so long, as far back as I can remember, she's spent winter with him. Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's. She had him at her side for so long. And now what? So I put myself in her shoes, already lonely from missing my wife and daughter. And in one session, I wrote and recorded 'Winter'. My favorite song I've done. Means a lot."
lyrics
Sunrise come and sunrise go
Winter ain't easy and it sure gets cold
Oh it's been hard on me.
Caught up other every thought of mine
Writing these songs tryin'a kill the time
But it's getting hard you see?
I'm gonna
Go where the wind blows
On the coast in the Carolina'
Back home to Alabama
Where the weather treats you right
Find some piece of land out
Somewhere in Tennessee
Then head out west to Texas
Where I know I'm living free
Winter's been hard on me
Snow keeps falling at the foot of my door
A bone chilling wind straight from the north
Winter keeps calling me
Days get shorter and the nights get long
Gets a little harder tryin'a sleep alone
But I'll try my best ya see
I'm gonna
Go where the wind blows
On the coast in the Carolina'
Back home to Alabama
Where the weather treats you right
Find some piece of land out
Somewhere in Tennessee
Then head out west to Texas
Where I know I'm living free
Winter's been hard on me
I'm gonna
Go where the wind blows
On the coast in the Carolina'
Back home to Alabama
Where the weather treats you right
Find some piece of land out
Somewhere in Tennessee
Then head out west to Texas
Where I know I'm living free
Winter's been hard on me
