Ridin' the storm out
Waiting for the thaw-out
On a full moon night in the Rocky Mountain winter
Wine bottles low
Watching for the snow
I've been thinking lately of what I'm missing in the city
And I'm not missing a thing
Watchin' the full moon crossing the range
Ridin' the storm out
Ridin' the storm out
Ridin' the storm out
Ridin' the storm out
Lady beside me
She's there to guide me
She says that alone we've finally found home
The wind outside is frightening
But it's kinder than the lightning life of the city
It's a hard life to live
But it gives back what you give
And I'm not missing a thing
Watchin' the full moon crossing the range
Ridin' the storm out
Ridin' the storm out
Ridin' the storm out
Ridin' the storm out
Ridin' the storm out
Waiting for the thaw-out
On a full moon night in the Rocky Mountain winter
Wine bottles low
Watching for the snow
I've been thinking lately of what I'm missing in the city
And I'm not missing a thing
Watchin' the full moon crossing the range
Ridin' the storm out
Ridin' the storm out
Ridin' the storm out
Ridin'
Ridin'
Ridin' the storm out
Waiting for the thaw-out
On a full moon night in the Rocky Mountain winter
Wine bottles low
Watching for the snow
I've been thinking lately of what I'm missing in the city
And I'm not missing a thing
Watchin' the full moon crossing the range
Ridin' the storm out
Ridin' the storm out
Ridin' the storm out
Ridin' the storm out
Lady beside me
She's there to guide me
She says that alone we've finally found home
The wind outside is frightening
But it's kinder than the lightning life of the city
It's a hard life to live
But it gives back what you give
And I'm not missing a thing
Watchin' the full moon crossing the range
Ridin' the storm out
Ridin' the storm out
Ridin' the storm out
Ridin' the storm out
Ridin' the storm out
Waiting for the thaw-out
On a full moon night in the Rocky Mountain winter
Wine bottles low
Watching for the snow
I've been thinking lately of what I'm missing in the city
And I'm not missing a thing
Watchin' the full moon crossing the range
Ridin' the storm out
Ridin' the storm out
Ridin' the storm out
Ridin'
Ridin'
Ridin' the storm out
