Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Ridin' the storm out
Waitin' for the thaw-out
On a full-moon night in the Rocky Mountain winter
[Verse 2]
Wine bottle's low
Watchin' for the snow
And thinkin' about what I've been missin' in the city
[Verse 3]
And I'm not missin' a thing
Watchin' the full moon crossin' the range
[Verse 4]
Ridin' the storm out
Ridin' the storm out
Ridin' the storm out
Ridin' the storm out
[Verse 5]
Lady beside me
Well, she's there to guide me
She says that alone we've finally found our home
[Verse 6]
Well, the wind outside is frightenin'
But it's kinder than the lightin' life in the city
A hard life to live, but it gives back what you give
[Verse 7]
And I'm not missin' a thing
Just watchin' the full moon crossin' the range
[Verse 8]
Ridin' the storm out
Ridin' the storm out
Ridin' the storm out
Ridin' the storm out
Whoa, yes, I am
[Verse 9]
Ridin' the storm out
I'm a-waitin' for the thaw-out
On a full-moon night in the Rocky Mountain winter
Oh, yeah
[Verse 10]
Wine bottle's low
I'm watchin' for the snow
I'm thinkin' about what I've been missin' in the city
Oh
[Verse 11]
And I'm not missin' a thing
I'm watchin' the full moon crossin' the range
[Verse 12]
Ridin' the storm out
Ridin' the storm out
Ridin' the storm out
Ridin', ridin', ridin' the storm out
Oh, oh
Oh
[Verse 13]
Oh, you know I'm ridin'
Oh, you know I'm ridin'
Oh, you know I'm ridin' the storm out
Hey
[Verse 14]
Gimme more
[Verse 15]
Thank you
You're beautiful, people
