West Virginia snow, it’s really coming down
Check the news to see if I'll learn or play around
I see my school's name, oh please won’t you let me
Have a day in the snow?
School is canceled, what will I do today?
Build a snowman, or jump and find my way
Through the clouds on the ground, explore the town
And work on my Christmas list
I’d like an iPod, I’d like to make some music
But a plain old guitar won’t do it
West Virginia snow is blanketing the streets
I’m banging on a snare drum, it’s the only one I need
But oh man, I want the cymbals and the stands
A drum set under my tree
Have I been good?
Done all my chores?
Is it enough, or
Could I do more?
West Virginia gets real cold
Might as well be The North Pole
Call my friends to sled down the biggest hill we find
Until it melts away
West Virginia morning, December 25
Descending down my staircase, I do not believe my eyes
Santa loaded in a 5-piece kit
I played it all day (he played it all day)
The best gift I will ever receive
My first drum set underneath the Christmas tree
West Virginia gets real cold
Might as well be The North Pole
Call my friends to sled down the biggest hill we find
Until it melts away
West Virginia my old home
Take me back to 10 years old
I won’t stay here I’ll move away
Thank you for those snowy days
West Virginia gets real cold
Might as well be The North Pole
Call my friends to sled down the biggest hill we find
Until it melts away
