Put on your boots, button up your coat
Put a thick wool scarf ‘round your throat
Put on your gloves, protect your hands
Now cast your eyes across the land
The wind is stronger than a grown man's pride
The Mississippi river is a mile wide
Turn up the heat, just pick up speed
You can't outrun the things you need
It's in the trunk, it's moving around
Put on the radio and drown out the sound
The current is fast, there's no place to hide
The Mississippi river is a mile wide
