Valley Forge Winter Lyrics

Three houses blew up out in Bethlehem

The cause is pending investigation

And I'm laid off until I don't know when

If we pass the test we'll be digging again

Our car broke down nine times this year

But we'll get a new one next June, dear

They say that today we should all celebrate

We've got some time off but it ain't no holiday

So, let's gather 'round

And we'll burn the forge down

If we save up all the embers

We can make it through December

You're the jewel of this current

That splits these mountains right in two

I'm gonna make you the queen of my homeland

Where the inland seas greet the dunes

This was our year and I knew it for sure

Which just goes to show I know nothing at all

Our hard luck sometimes seems funny

But we'll get us that Saginaw money

On a scam and a prayer

So, let's gather 'round

And we'll burn the forge down

If we save up all the embers

We can make it through December

And I've self-medicated

But it's always predicated

Upon the world placed in my hands

The weight was always more than I could stand

When I needed to get wet

This town went dry

Our landlady sold me out

To claim the bounty placed on my head

That bitch thinks she's got one up on me

But she don't know I'd rather be dead

Than see her win, yes I would

So I stare at these white woods

Through the bars placed 'round our bed

You're the only thing that keeps me

From painting that canvas red

So, let's gather 'round

And we'll burn the forge down

If we save up all the embers

We can make it through December

Oh, let's gather 'round

And we'll burn the forge down

If we save up all the embers

Cuz this winter never ends
