John T. Wurzer - Blizzard Romance Lyrics

Where are you going
And why are you here in this ghostly town
It looks like it's snowing
And you're gonna be forced into hanging around
Can I buy you a double
You can warm your toes by the open fire
I don't mean to be trouble, but it's been awhile since I sensed desire

Let's not exchange names here
I don't want to get complicated and vague
There's no need for shamed fear
Let me take your coat and hang it on a peg
Hey, that's a nice sweater
It brings out the highlights in your hair
Where'd you buy those boots
Can you tell me, I'd like to get me a pair

Yes, I do come here often
It's as good a place as any other that I've been
The bartenders name is Julia
And the guy who owns the place is her husband Ken
No, I've long since retired from
A job that accidentally became a career
No, I wasn't fired
It's just somehow I had to end up here

Yes, I used to be married
I used to be stoned on rock and roll
And the burden I carried
Finally broke my back like shoveling coal
So I traded my savings
For a tiny bag full of magic beans
You know I get cravings
And sometimes a salesman ain't exactly what he seems

No, I married another
And we were like ham and eggs on a plate
It's kind of amazing
How one tiny decision tips the balance of fate
One push of a button
One phone call, one email, one flash in a pan
Then all of a sudden
I'm in a big corner office and I am the man

No, she died on a Thursday
A Chinese virus on American soil
I can't think of a worse day
Tears in my eyes and my blood begins to boil
It seems like forever
And it seems like yesterday, I don't know why
Heart strings sometimes sever
And sometimes they can't bring themselves to say goodbye

Where are you going
If you really must leave, let me brush off your car
Yes, it has stopped snowing
But the roads are still slick and you've been in a bar
It's best to take Vine street
Deputy Luke parks at Third and Main
Still it was good to meet
And if you're ever in town let's do this again
Where are you goin'
