When It’s Cold

When we get home, the porch light's on
We step inside next to the iron stove
And Christmas time is about to start
The tree's lit up with all the broken hearts
So all night long we dig to find
Up in the attic where the boxes hide
The lights and cheer for another year
And the kids are jumping from the arms of the chairs

But it's cold outside sitting here next to the lights
So let's go out into the ice and snow
And wait on the roof until away we go (Go)
Put on our scarves and breathe in the cold
And just hold on tight until away we go (Go)

When the family comes, we smile and smile some more
The white sand turns into a dirty floor
It's Christmas time, kids wrestle outside
Their older cousins all smoke and hide
Uncles eat and watch the TV set
And the waiting dogs are there to steal what's left
It's half a song, then they're moving on
And the sweet tea's got 'em all singing along

But it's cold outside sitting here next to the lights
So let's go out into the ice and snow
And wait on the roof until away we go (Go)
Put on our scarves and breathe in the cold
And just hold on tight until away we go (Go)
