A Change of Tires

Winter's coming and it's getting cold,

The rain's become sleet and I'm growing old,

Turn the temperature up, another log on the fire,

The season is here for a change of tires.


Fetch the snow shovel love, store the lawn mower,

Streets are getting slick, the driving's getting slower,

Watch every step, so your situation's not dire, 

The season is here for a change of tires.


Enjoy second helpings to pack on the pounds,

Celebrate with family and toast a few rounds,

Count all your blessings, it helps to inspire,

The season is here for a change of tires.


Put away those tees and take out your sweater,

I'll hug you a bit closer to survive this weather,   

Forgive me the times I proved to be a liar,

The season is here for a change of tires.


I've loved you so long, stopped counting the days,

We've been here for each other, in so many ways, 

Some things stay the same, like our yearning desire,

And the car we take to get there, on a change of tires.

Do I have your permission to put this one to music? I could go with a Christmas-y holiday tune, but I'm thinking more (no surprise) Dylan-y. We'll start it off with a G chord! No sharps and no flats! Hehe.

Glad to see you're in the holiday mood! Perhaps it's good timing for me to send you the draft of my novel! I hope you won't need a re-alignment after reading it!

Yeah, I’d love that. I definitely had it in mind that it was a song. I’m thinking of giving that a go myself.
