lyrics

COLD WIND BLOWS

I got four walls with a roof on top
gonna keep it that way til the day I drop
cause you never know when the money might stop
and a cold wind blows

I know an old lady that lives on the street
Got a family of rats sleeping at her feet
and I wonder what she does for heat
when the cold wind blows

(CHORUS)
when the cold wind blows
when the cold wind blows
It chills you right down to your bones
gonna keep the fire burning when the cold wind blows

one day soon I might strike it rich
or hit some bad luck and lose everything
cause you never know what a change might bring
when the cold wind blows

I got a nice house for my family
at dinner time it's the place to be
and it makes good sense to have company
when the cold wind blows
