Heavy Hands - Winter Country Lyrics

Fading out of Hollywood
You've gotta head back to the northern woods
Closing down where the stars don't shine
Trading palms for pines tonight and you're leaving to the winter country
And you're leaving to the winter country

You'll never fade out of our hearts again
Come back to our open arms again
We can live out don't need a scene
While the snow falls

You were told to shoot for the stars, but you burned out, you burned out
Caught on fire like they said you would, but you crashed hard, you crashed hard
Oh how you tried to be so inspiring
Oh how we cried when you said you're retiring

Took a box car to New Orleans
Hitched a ride with an aging queen
Set a course straight up the river
It's a long way when you feel like a grifter

You'll never fade out of our hearts again
Come back to our open arms again
We can live out don't need a scene
While the snow falls

You were told to shoot for the stars, but you burned out, you burned out
Caught on fire like they said you would, but you crashed hard, you crashed hard
Oh how you tried to be so inspiring
Oh how we cried when you said you're retiring

When all you want is to dream again
After choking down other people's fame
When all your life you wanted to begin
You're coming home in time to save your name

You were told to shoot for the stars, but you burned out, you burned out
Caught on fire like they said you would, but you crashed hard, you crashed hard
Oh how you tried to be so inspiring
Oh how we cried when you said you're retiring
