Lyrics

Frigid February storm
Taken over all Hawthorne
And Goffle road is swallowed whole
Underneath a sheet of snow

When everyone starts to embark
To the highest hill within the park
Sled to the brook, where the kids all took
Frigid dips if they couldn't stop

Bagel crumbs on a paper plate
And I've been using it for days
But when daylight ends, I'll be meeting friends
For drinks and a meal down at Kirker's Inn

Oh oh Carolyn
You won't believe the shape I'm in
Its warmer inside but this winter looks bright
Underneath these silver skies
And please remember by this December
I'll be on my way home
Oh oh Carolyn
Oh oh Carolyn

Been fighting fire since 58
Not paid a dime or a single wage
But you can rest at night knowing Ashley heights
Is safe under watch of company 3

Retired PSE&G
More than enough to earn my keep
And now some makers mark and a lit cigar
Is damn near everything I need

Oh oh Carolyn
You won't believe the shape I'm in
Its warmer inside but this winter looks bright
Underneath these silver skies
And please remember, by this December
I'll be on my way home
Oh oh Carolyn
Oh oh Carolyn

I remember the first home we ever had
123 Prescott Ave
And every May we'd celebrate the day
You walked down the aisle draped in lace

Now our four boys sure raised some hell
And we did our best to raise them well
But the benefit is all the grandchildren
And the roots we made for this family tree
