1.
Happy New Year Santa Rosa here I am
I was brought in by the weather and the cold
I was heading towards the West to find the sand
But I guess I'll have to settle for the snow
2.
And I am just a stranger to this town
I'm lonely and I'm restless and I'm stuck
I wish I knew a way to get back down
And I wish I had a shovel in this truck
3.
And the state police won't let me on the street
I told 'em my story, but they don't care
There's an old dog just lying at the feet
Of a girl who once wore flowers in her hair
4.
And my heart lies fifty miles ahead
Underneath a bridge just out of sight
she sits beneath the covers of a bed
Where she waits for me to meet her in the night
5.
And this old town was named after a rose
That blooms along the hillside in the cold ground
But my heart has been broken and is closed
Like the freeway that would take me out of town
6.
And just because I don't got no regrets
Yeah well that don't mean I didn't get it wrong
My love is like a homemade summer dress
I am just a lonely winter song
7.
And I dust off the snowflakes from the hood
And I talk to an old friend on the phone
She says, "I think that the calm could do you good
You have been traveling so long"
8.
So Happy New Years babe, I guess this is goodbye
And I hope that you find someone you can hold
And if you hear that midnight whistle cry
Please think of me in Santa Rosa in the snow
