Colder Weather - The Petersens (LIVE)
Don't worry, the irony is not lost on us that we are singing a song titled “Colder Weather” while sweating our little hearts out. We just didn't know if we would get another chance to record the video before I gave birth so we went with it lol.
Enjoy our cover of this song from the Zac Brown Band!

►LYRICS - Colder Weather
She'd trade Colorado
If he'd take her with him
Closes the door before
The winter lets the cold in
And wonders if her love
Is strong enough to make him stay
She's answered by the taillights
Shinin' through the window pane
He said, I want to see you again
But I'm stuck in colder weather
Maybe tomorrow will be better
Can I call you then?
She said, you're ramblin' man
And you ain't ever gonna change
You've got a gypsy soul to blame
And you were born for leavin'
At a truck stop diner
Just outside of Lincoln
The night is black
As the coffee he was drinkin'
And in the waitress' eyes
He sees the same old light is shinin'
He thinks of Colorado
And the girl he left behind him
He said, I want to see you again
But I'm stuck in colder weather
Maybe tomorrow will be better
Can I call you then?
She said, you're ramblin' man
And you ain't ever gonna change
You've got a gypsy soul to blame
And you were born for leavin'
Born for leavin'
Well, it's a windin' road
When you're in the lost and found
You're a lover, I'm a runner
And we go 'round and 'round
And I love you, but I leave you
I don't want you, but I need you
You know it's you
That calls me back here, babe
Oh, I want to see you again
But I'm stuck in colder weather
Maybe tomorrow will be better
Can I call you then?
'Cause I'm a ramblin' man
And I ain't ever gonna change
I've got a gypsy soul to blame
And I was born for leavin'
Born for leavin'
When I close my eyes I see you
No matter where I am
I can smell your perfume
Through these whisperin' pines
I'm with your ghost again
And it's a shame about the weather
I know soon we'll be together
And I can't wait 'til then
I can't wait 'til then
