The same 'ol thoughts crept back again
Oh they grew, yeah they grew

Somewhere in my sorry state
The lightn' struck that old iron gate
Oh it's true, yeah it's true

With snow in tow, the winter winds
Smacks you on your cheeks again
Oh it stings, oh it stings

Remember how I held you near
And whispered in your precious ear
Sweet things, yeah sweet things

It happened when I heard her name
The same 'ol thoughts crept back again
Oh they grew, yeah they grew, oh
