It Sure Can Get Cold In Des Moines - Tom T. Hall[00:00:00]
Written by:Tom T. Hall[00:00:02]
The iowa weather was 13 below[00:00:06]
I had come to des moines for a radio show[00:00:14]
I awoke in the evening from a traveler's sleep[00:00:21]
With notions of something to eat[00:00:27]
The old elevator slid down past the floors[00:00:34]
My head and my eyes said[00:00:40]
You should have slept more[00:00:44]
The man at the desk said the restaurant was closed[00:00:48]
Outside it was 14 below[00:00:55]
The lounge was still open and so I walked in[00:01:01]
In place of my food I had two double gins[00:01:09]
I looked 'round the room[00:01:16]
As a tourist would do[00:01:19]
That's when I saw the girl in the booth[00:01:22]
She sat there and cried in the smoky half dark[00:01:29]
The silent type crying that tears out your heart[00:01:35]
Her clothes were not cut in the new modern way[00:01:43]
And her suitcase had seen better days[00:01:50]
Nobody asked her what caused her such pain[00:01:57]
Nobody spoke up yet no one complained[00:02:04]
Without even asking[00:02:11]
I knew why she cried[00:02:14]
Life is just like that sometimes[00:02:17]
The man at the desk said[00:02:23]
It's 15 below[00:02:27]
The bellhop said yeah man[00:02:30]
That's cold that's cold[00:02:33]
I went back to my room and[00:02:38]
I wrote down this song[00:02:41]
Oh it sure can get cold in des moines[00:02:44]
