Heading down the winter highway
You bear your burden tall
No one comes to take it from you
When your heart begins to fall
As you go your lonely way
You hear the wind begin to say
Chorus
Oh, the bitter cold now
It’s in your bones now
Can’t take it back now
You’ll never know how
There be days so full of trouble
Your mind is sinking down
And your nights are full of sorrow
Your cries the only sound
Though you take it all in stride
It’s weary now
You feel inside
Chorus
Oh, the bitter cold now
It’s in your bones now
Can’t take it back now
You’ll never know how
Oh, the bitter times now
I see in your eyes now
Long is the road now
Wherever you go now
You await your final rest
And watch the sun fade in the west
Chorus
