There's a factory standin' empty
Where we built your Chevrolet
And we sent our kids to college
On a 40 hour wage

But now the windows all are broken
There's graffiti on the walls
And the kids came home from college
And took a job down at the mall

And the winter is getting longer
And this town is frozen up
And I can't remember summer
It feels like spring may never come

There's a half full whiskey bottle
On the table by my bed
And there's a hollow in the pillow
Where she used to lay her head

And all the dreams
And all the memories
Faded pictures in crooked frames
Hang in silence down the hallway

In the chill of what remains

Now the winter is getting colder
And my heart is frozen up
And I can't remember summer
It feels like spring may never come

Shades of hopeless
On the faces
Of the souls
Who stand in line

And holy Jesus hangs on crosses
And I hear mother mary cryin'

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Soon it all will disappear
Buried under the snows of winter
Just like we all were never here
