Blame It On The Weather

ABOUT THIS SONG

One iced in night, one power outage, and a boy with her smile and his blue eyes.

LYRICS

The weatherman said, stay off the roads By eight o'clock, the whole town froze
The power died, the fire burned low She said, looks like you ain't goin' home
So we lit some candles, poured the wine Talked till the clock hit half past nine
That winter storm blew out by dawn But something from that night lived on

He's got her smile and my blue eyes Came along by mid-July
Folks keep asking how our life all changed From one cold night and a little rain
We could blame the wine, we could blame forever But we just smile and blame it on the weather
Her daddy says I should've drove on home Her mama says the Lord knew all along

Now there's little boots beside the door Toy trucks scattered across the floor
Every time the thunder starts to roll She grins and says, well, you never know
I'll laugh and say, girl, you better Keep your distance in this weather
He's got her smile and my blue eyes Came along by mid-July

Folks keep asking how our life all changed From one cold night and a little rain
We could blame the wine, we could blame forever But we just smile and blame it on the weather
Some things hit you out of the blue Like a snowed-in girl and a lucky fool
He's got her smile and my blue eyes And number two is starting tonight

Another cold front's moving in She lit the fire and poured the wine
We could blame the moon, we could blame forever But everybody knows it's always been the weather
Yeah, we could blame the wine But, baby, we know better
We just smile and blame it on the weather Blame it on the weather
