Chris Knight Lyrics
North Dakota Lyrics
Been snowin all day when I got home
The fire was out the cabin was cold
And I poured some stale coffee from the pot
The longer I waited the snow got higher
So I split some wood and built a fire
If she told me she�d be gone I forgot
I�d seen it snow that hard before
I couldn�t see the cabin from the stable door
And that mare she always rode was in the stall
The law couldn�t come till the weather broke
My heart was poundin in my throat
And I searched and called her name till it was raw
I never should have brought her here
Livin�s rough this time of year
Tryin to keep food and fire till winters done
Sometimes she gazed across the plains
With a look that I couldn�t name
And I�d wonder if she stay till springtime comes
I found her on the first warm day
The rain had washed the snow away
Went for wood and lost her way back home
And I ain�t the kind believes in ghosts
But some nights I get pretty close
When the North Dakota winter moans
When the North Dakota winter moans
