Today I heard the cold winds moanin' and I saw some geese up on the wings
A southern home waits their returnin' oh that'd be such a lucky thing
Nobody cares where I am goin' and I don't remember where I've been
I only know the cold winds blowin' and winter's comin' on again
Once I was young and had a reason for doing everything I did
A pretty girl for every season without a conscince to forbid
And I used to know someone in this town someone I used to call a friend
But we ain't walkin' on the same ground and winter's comin' on again

When that old sun comes up tomorrow I'll find a highway headin' south
Maybe the sun will ease my sorrow cause down south is where I started out
If someone asks me where you goin' well I'm just lookin' for the end
Too many cold winds I felt blowin' and winter's comin' on again
And winter's comin' on again
