The Lyrics

How long has it been since we've known cold shivers?
I can't remember when some warmth was found
It's cold this winter, furnace doesn't work
Chilly life with no heat around

Home's just a three room shack past Riverville
And well, we is about as poor as sin
Forced to beg meals down at the mission,
Usually meat-less, beans from a tin

No job, days drag on by, turn to weeks
Not much hope ahead we can find
'Bout half step away from bein' on the street
Cold shivers happen all the time

Son's five foot tall, goes to school, can't work
Fights cold shivers, ten below
Mornin's he's up, walks on down the road
And behind him, our old dog, Bill will follow slow

We pray one of these days
We'll get a brand new furnace
Powered up with heat to spare
Thermostat set high,
And warm air a' blowin'
All clear windows, no frost there

...instrumental...

Mailed a long letter today, to the Prez, DC, and
It's tellin' him how low we fly
And down at the end, P.S. I said,
Send stimulus check on by..

Just sittin' here now, wife's expectin' birth
Fixin' to make us some lemonade
Tho' December's around, Christmas cheer won't be
Stuck with these cold shivers, us three

Prayin' one of these days,
We'll get that brand new furnace
We'll be warm with heat in here
Thermostat set high, and nice air a' blowin'
And the windows all frost clear..

Tho' December's around, Christmas cheer won't be
We just get cold shivers, us three...
