Snowing through South Dakota I once drove   With the wife of my best pal   Who cloaks her heart from cold with gold   It was well into the winter   Of December in the cold   Off to see Mount Rushmore staring through the snow   And to gamble with the boys of Deadwood   As we drove      Snowing, I am shaking out the snow   Oh, the cold that is within my heart   I'm gonna shake out all that snow   Riding years ago   Through the South Dakota roads   When the laughter could thaw Enderby   And shake me from the snow   Like a hurricane through Florida   I'll shake out all this snow      Snowing, one Christmas morn' when I was four   My brother told me it was warm   So a swimsuit I adorned   Then he sent me to the weather   And behind me locked the doors   A four year old in a swim suit and brand new plastic skates   Out into the snow to catch this cold   I cannot shake      Snowing, I am shaking out the snow   Oh, the cold that is within my heart   I'm gonna shake out all that snow   Riding years ago   Through the South Dakota roads   When the laughter could thaw Enderby   And shake me from the snow   Like a hurricane through Florida   I'll shake out all this snow      Snowing yeah, it snows in Tennessee   The place where I now make my life   Is still snowin' down on me   I'd prefer Antarctica   Perhaps the land of Enderby   Where the weather is my heart and I'm closer to the sea   Since I cannot ever seem to shake the snow   Out of me      Snowing, I am shaking out the snow   Oh, the cold that is within my heart   I'm gonna shake out all that snow   Riding years ago   Through the South Dakota roads   When the laughter could thaw Enderby   And shake me from the snow   Like a hurricane through Florida   I'll shake out all this snow      All across the states you see   The tractors and the plows   Clearin' out the roads   And the bridges north and south   Something they did learn   And I just don't seem to know   How to clear a passage   And shake out all the snow
