This is the demo picked by the Rose Garden Coffeehouse when I was a finalist for their songwriting competition.

Shake off the snow
Stamp your boots
Into the pub out of the cold
She had a way with a warm glow
Even with the wind chill nine below

I can't complain about the cold
I like the winter better
Than the long hot days of summer

A shot of rye was all it took
Shall I hang your coat on yonder hook?
No, I'll keep it on
It wrapped around our shoulders in the dawn

I can't complain about the cold
I like the winter better
Than the long hot days of summer

On the way to the border
We would lay by the water
I don't know the Spanish tongue
But with the Spanish boys I see she does

From Sante Fe to Portland Maine
Her mood like the weather changed
On an icy hill we had a wreck
Her scarf wrapped around my neck

I can't complain about the cold
I like the winter better
Than the long hot days of summer

I watch the door in a glow
Guinness please, Dos Equis no
It's July in Buffalo
and I'm still shaking off the snow
I'm still shaking off the snow
