C
Happy New Year Santa Rosa here I am
F C
I was brought in by the weather and the cold
G Am
I was heading towards the West to find the sand
G F
But I guess I'll have to settle for the snow
2.
C
And I am just a stranger to this town
F C
I'm lonely and I'm restless and I'm stuck
G Am
I wish I knew a way to get back down
G F
And I wish I had a shovel in this truck
3.
C
And the state police won't let me on the street
F C
I told 'em my story, but they don't care
G Am
There's an old dog just lying at the feet
G F
Of a girl who once wore flowers in her hair
4.
C
And my heart lies fifty miles ahead
F C
Underneath a bridge just out of sight
G Am
she sits beneath the covers of a bed
G F
Where she waits for me to meet her in the night
5.
C
And this old town was named after a rose
F C
That blooms along the hillside in the cold ground
G Am
But my heart has been broken and is closed
G F
Like the freeway that would take me out of town
6.
C
And just because I don't got no regrets
F C
Yeah well that don't mean I didn't get it wrong
G Am
My love is like a homemade summer dress
G F
I am just a lonely winter song
7.
C
And I dust off the snowflakes from the hood
F C
And I talk to an old friend on the phone
G Am
She says, "I think that the calm could do you good
G F
You have been traveling so long"
8.
C
So Happy New Years babe, I guess this is goodbye
F C
And I hope that you find someone you can hold
G Am
And if you hear that midnight whistle cry
G F
Please think of me in Santa Rosa in the snow
C F C
G Am G F
