Lyrics
Last Year's Troubles Jim Dannemiller Houston, TX November 21, 2010 It's late November And it should be cold But it's warm outside All the leaves are gold Apparently the weather Is a lot like me Runnin late this year For all the world to see Looks like you left already You headed south I'll catch up with you Somewhere outside Taos We'll spend the winter Up on those high plains Sendin last year's troubles Up in flames We'll build a fire Every night Throwing on it All those ugly fights All those times we lied All those chances missed All those times we hurt each other When we should have kissed We'll watch those embers Float far away They'll carry our burdens Each ones got a name There goes sorrow There goes pain There goes that time I said your dog had the mange We'll spend the winter Up on those high plains Sendin last year's troubles Up in flames When springtime finally comes We'll be feelin' new We'll make our yearly pilgrimage To Abiquiu To see those flaming canyons That Georgia knew and loved Those wordless vistas Those skies of blue above We'll spend the winter Up on those high plains Sendin last year's troubles Up in flames It's late November And it should be cold But it's warm outside All the leaves are gold
