hope SPRINGS insanity in the heart of winter


Ever mornin' at the winda, you'd see it arrive
Fell six foot six, weighed at least 285
Nobody ever paid any lip
to Big SNOW, Big Bad SNOW

Ever mornin' I'd get up and so naively say
That maybe this would be a real spring day
Well, that soon turned into a big fat pipedream
Cuz Mother Nature had her own damn scheme

Big SNOW, Big Bad Snow

Ever mornin' at the Lovestead
I'd just grit my teeth
And shovel through the latest new white dump
Figurin' at least this shovelin' was good for my big fat rump.

Big SNOW, Big Bad Snow

I shoveled straight on toward the barn.
I shoved to the left, shoveled to the right.
Even shoveled my doggie's red coffee can, oh so bright
Finally shoveled my way to the horse barn's big white light.

Big SNOW, Big Bad Snow

I looked toward the pasture and saw that snow.
Better get the shovel or I'll have a wet toe (or two).
So, I shoveled a long path to distribute the hay;
Then led my horses out for the day.

Big SNOW, Big Bad Snow.

My Lily, she took one look at that new white stuff
Said to herself, this North Idaho livin' sure is rough.
Send me back to Oklahoma where the grass grows green.
I'm tired of bein' the North Idaho equine winter carnival queen.

Big SNOW, Big Bad Snow

My other two horses, Rambo and Casey, they just sighed.
They've lived here plenty of years.
They know how it goes in our winter wonderland.
You just wonder and wonder and keep sheddin' your tears.

Big SNOW, Big Bad Snow

Yup, ever mornin' at the Lovestead
When we see it arrive, we just suck it up,
For to do otherwise will get ya nowhere
So have that shovel handy and keep washin' them long underwear.

Cuz who knows how much longer we gonna get

Big SNOW, Big Damn Snow?

It may be coming after another winter like this, but then the big rump would get bigger.
