Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I caught you messin' around
Cause you packed up your pickup
and bogied out of town
Well darlin' I think you'd like to know
That I sti.ll write-chur name in the snow
When the snowflakes fall I guess I see
And when the snow has covered all the ground
I hear your name an have ta write it down.yes
Well do you think of me when your feelin' low
And wish you could write my name.In the snow
Well I once had an inklin' you'd come back again
I see now that I was just a-tinklin' in the wind
You've hurt me more than you will ever know
And I sti.ll write-chur name in the snow
Well when those snowflakes fall I guess I see
That happy you an me that used to be
I write your name so beautifly
But it's hard to cross the i's an dot the t's
Do you think of me when your feelin' low
And wish you could write my name.In the snow.

One of the best guitar players to ever pick one up! Of course you could argue there's loads of metal guitarists, jazz... etc. He's "one" of the best "in my opinion" 😉
This song always gets a laugh from me and my Grand Parents. As I say almost every time, we get 2 hours of entertainment 5 days a week from Country Road TV. We can't thank you enough! 👍
