Well, I was standing on a corner at the 
Flatiron Building in 
Asheville, 
North Caroline 
Waiting for a woman that was putting me down and leaving me way behind 
And the wind was cold, the wind blew cold. 
I walked around the corner to have a cup of coffee 
And I met a good buddy instead we moved across the river for a shot of white lightning it moves me out of my head 
And the wind was cold, the wind blew cold. 
I can't forget, that lonesome day 
Nothing seemed to go my way 
I got put down, by the woman 
I love And the wind blew cold lord, lord, the wind blew cold. 
Started walking and 
I thumbed across the 
Hotspring 
Mountains and to 
Knoxville 
Tennessee 
I hear a freight train, was a-landing before the wind blow 
And no one talking to me 
And the wind was cold, the wind blew cold 
A couple of fellows and a log truck moving 
Took me to the 
Tennessee line 
We got to talking and a-drinking over troubles 
On a bottle of home made wine 
And the wind was cold, the wind blew cold 
I can't forget, that lonesome day 
Nothing seemed to go my way 
I got put down, by the woman 
I love And the wind blew cold lord, lord, the wind blew cold 
And the wind blew cold lord, lord, the wind blew cold.
