Cold Chicago nights
Chains on your tires
You're digging out snow

That wind it just ain't right
I've made up my mind
I'm heading home

Well baby
Well, can't you give it time
I'll keep you warm at night
This town is all I know

And I can see you in my life
Stay inside
I can't go outside
Just please don't go
So I gotta go

'Cause baby
All winter is nothing but prison
It drives me away
And maybe come summer
Then we'll be together
Our time will come again
'Til then I'll see you in the spring
So don't throw it all away
Throw it all away

The end of spring and June arrives
Won't you take a flight?
Come down to San Antone

Well, that heat feels like I'm on fire
Oh no, it's just ain't right
(No, it's just not right)
Makes me sweat at night
(Just not right)
I'd rather be alone
(To be so alone)

'Cause baby
All summer is nothing but prison
It drives me away
And maybe come winter
We can be together
But love will come again
'Til then I'll see you in the spring
So don't throw it all away
Throw it all away

You know I live just to see your eyes
I'll meet you half way
I'll meet you half way by the runaway sign
(Makes me fall when for you)
(You'll find a way)
(I'll find you baby)

'Cause baby
All winter is nothing but prison
It drives me away
And maybe come summer
We can be together
Our time will come again
When I'll see you in the spring
So don't throw it all away

Don't throw it away
So don't throw it all away
Throw it all away
