Happy New Year Santa Rosa here I amnI was brought in by the weather and the coldnI was heading towards the West to find the sandnI guess I'll have to settle for the snownnAnd I am just a stranger to this townnI'm lonely and I'm restless and I'm stucknAnd I wish I knew a way to get back downnAnd I wish I had a shovel in this trucknnAnd the state police won't let me on the streetnI told 'em my story - they don't carenThere's an old dog just lying at the feetnOf a girl who once wore flowers in her hairnnAnd my heart lies fifty miles aheadnUnderneath a bridge just out of sightnWhere she sits beneath the covers of a bednWhere she waits for me to meet her in the nightnnAnd this old town was named after a rosenThat blooms along the hillside in the cold groundnBut my heart has been broken and it's closednLike the freeway that would take me out of townnnAnd just because I ain't got no regretsnThat don't mean I didn't get it wrongnMy love is like a homemade Summer dressnAnd I am just a lonely Winter songnnI dust off the snowflakes from the hoodnAnd I talk to an old friend on the phonenShe says, I think that the calm could do you goodnYou know you've been driving for so longnnSo Happy New Years babe, I guess this is goodbyenAnd I hope that you find someone you can holdnAnd if you hear that midnight whistle crynPlease think of me in Santa Rosa in the snow
