[00:00.00]Ten Degrees and Getting Colder - Nanci Griffith
[00:07.90]He was standing by the highway
[00:10.17]With a sign that just said mother
[00:12.68]When he heard a driver coming
[00:15.28]About a half a mile away
[00:17.63]So he held the sign up higher
[00:20.18]Where no decent soul could miss it
[00:22.84]It was ten degrees or colder
[00:25.18]Down by boulder dam that day
[00:29.16]He was raised up in milwaukee
[00:31.53]Though he never was that famous
[00:34.12]He was just a road musician
[00:36.61]To the taverns he would go
[00:39.33]Singing songs about the ramblin'
[00:42.05]The lovin' girls and gamblin'
[00:44.34]How the world fell on his shoulders
[00:46.72]Back in boulder I don't know
[00:51.60]And she told him she would take him
[00:56.78]For a ride in the morning sun
[01:01.63]Back in boulder he had told her
[01:06.51]I don't know when I've had a better friend
[01:14.79]It was out in arizona
[01:16.99]That he heard the lady listening
[01:19.57]To each word that he was saying
[01:21.92]To each line that he would write
[01:24.57]So he sat down at her table
[01:26.98]And they talked about the weather
[01:29.61]98 6 and rising down by boulder dam that night
[01:37.21]And she told him she would take him
[01:41.88]For a ride in the morning sun
[01:47.27]Back in boulder he had told her
[01:51.96]I don't know when I've had a better friend
[01:59.87]Now he's traded off his martin
[02:02.46]Though his troubles ain't over
[02:04.97]His feet are almost frozen and the sun is sinking
[02:09.25]Low
[02:10.07]Won't you listen to me brother if you ever loved
[02:13.80]Your mother
[02:14.94]I want to pull off on the shoulder
[02:17.39]If you're goin' milwaukee
[02:19.15]Way
[02:19.64]It's ten degrees and getting colder down by boulder dam
