Seems like every November
When the weather gets bad
I start to remember
All the good times we had
The long nights get longer
I Wish an friend would come by
The forecast is zero
And the chill factors high

You know the chill factors higher
On a cold windy day
But there's no wind this morning
And no wind on the way
There's a snowstorm inside me
With record high wind
And I'm colder this morning
Than I've ever been

Seems like every November
When the weather gets bad
I start to remember
The good love we had
And the long nights get longer
Wish an old friend would drop by
The forecast is zero
And the chill factors high

Merle Haggard

Merle Ronald Haggard (born April 6, 1937) is an American country music song writer, singer, guitarist, fiddler and instrumentalist. Along with Buck Owens, Haggard and his band The Strangers helped create the Bakersfield sound, which is characterized by the unique twang of Fender Telecaster and the unique mix with the traditional country steel guitar sound, new vocal harmony styles in which the words are minimal, and a rough edge not heard on the more polished Nashville Sound recordings of the same era. more »
