The second song in my honky tonk bird trilogy. I can't say this is the honkiest of tonkiest, but I could see it in the midst of a honky tonk set to give the exhausted dancers a slower waltz. This one's about a pair of great horned owls getting ready to nest again in the winter. (I swear the next one won't be in C again...)

Lyrics

A cold frosty evening
The sun’s sinking low
We’ll soon be together
Like old times you know
Oh you know, oh you know

There’s work to be done
And lots of long nights
With you as my partner
We’ll sure get it right
Get it right, get it right

Chorus:
‘Cause we’ll see it through to the dawn
And we’ll just keep moving on

A prince in his palace
Can sit on a throne
But he’s poor as the next man
If he’s all alone
All alone, all alone

Good fortune and favor
Has brought me to you
We’ll try again next year
What else can we do?
Can we do, can we do

[Chorus]
