Come a little closer children, I've got a story to tell (Oh gee) It's about a man you've heard of, and I knew him well. (How well?) He was born on a cold winter's morning, And went on to gain great fame. But may I begin my story, And refer to him by name? (Please do) Frosty the snowman was a jolly happy soul (ooooh) With a corn cob pipe and a button nose And two eyes made out of coal Frosty the snowman made the children smile they say. And were they surprised when he rolled his eyes And he came to life that day! There must of been some magic In that ol' silk cap they found For when they placed it on his head He began to dance around Frosty the snowman was alive as he could be And the children say he could laugh and play Just the same as you and me With a corncob pipe and a button nose and two eyes made out of coal! Were they surprised when he rolled his eyes and he came to life that day! (But Uncle Jimmy, you didn't finish your story.) I know, I just paused to catch my breath. (What happened to frosty when he came to life that day?) Well he got in a lot of trouble, you see? Frosty the snowman knew the sun was hot that day So he said let's run and we'll have some fun before I melt away. (Where'd he go?) Down to the village with a broomstick in his hand Runnin' here and there and around the square Sayin', "Catch me if you can" He led them down the streets of town Right to the traffic cop And he only paused a moment when he heard him holler, "Stop!" Frosty the snowman had to hurry on his way But he waved goodbye sayin' don't you cry I'll be back again someday! Thumpety, thump, thump Thumpety, thump, thump Look at that Frosty go Thumpety, thump, thump Thumpety, thump, thump Over the hills of snow

Frosty the snowman Was a jolly, happy soul With a corncob pipe and a button nose And two eyes made out of coal "Frosty the snowman Is a fairy tale", they say He was made of snow But the children know How he came to life one day There must have been some magic In that old silk hat they found For when they placed it on his head He began to dance around Frosty the snowman Was alive as he could be And the children say "He could laugh and play" Just the same as you and me Frosty the snowman Knew the sun was hot that day So he said, "Let's run And we'll have some fun Now before I melt away" Down to the village With a broomstick in his hand Running here and there All around the square Saying, "Catch me if you can" He led them down The streets of town Right to the traffic cop And he only paused a moment When he heard them holler, "Stop!"

Blue sky breeze and a trail of dust Sunday slow like fender rust Ain't much else out here but us And it fits just right Cotton sheets out on a line Red rose bloom on a July vine Sunset glass, a front porch wine And it taste just right I ain't saying Heaven can't get any better Is it too much to ask to just stay here forever You shine like lights in the city And they know for miles around You're out of this world pretty And I'm pretty sure by now You could've had anybody But you went and did what you did Broke every heart in town When you picked this rural route kid Shooting stars and summer rain Fall like me when you say my name And after all who could blame These arms right here Wrapped around you in a warm sunrise Hot coffee cup and your green eyes I'll tell you no one's more surprised Then this ole boy here You shine like lights in the city And they know for miles around You're out of this world pretty And I'm pretty sure by now You could've had anybody But you went and did what you did Broke every heart in town When you picked this rural route kid I ain't saying that Heaven can't get any better Is it too much to ask to just stay here forever You shine like lights in the city And they know for miles around You're out of this world pretty And I'm pretty sure by now You could've had anybody You went and did what you did Broke every heart in town When you picked this rural route kid When you picked this rural route kid I'm just a rural route kid

She's the dust trails on that one road out of town She's the south wind keeps that windmill spinning round She's a water tower sunset colored purple, pink and red Her suntan skin and sea green eyes keep dancing in my head She calls me back She calls me back She calls me back, back to her heartland The only Heaven on Earth I know She calls me back, back to her heartland I got a bigger dream to chase back home I been out here trying to pin some dollar down Losing the meaning sometimes takes leaving to be found But she's probably on that front porch Lemonade glass in her hand I'm making tracks in my old Chevy Yeah, catch me if you can 'Cause I'm headed back She calls me back She calls me back, back to her heartland The only Heaven on Earth I know She calls me back, back to her heartland I got a bigger dream to chase back home Long on lonely, short on time Lost the melody, forgot the rhyme Gotta get it right before it goes wrong Know where it is that I belong Back, back to her heartland The only Heaven on Earth I know She calls me back, back to her heartland I got a bigger dream to chase back home, yeah She calls me back (She calls me back) Back to her heartland (She calls me back) She calls me back

That girl's got her eyes on a fadin' horizon Here come the last line of our favorite song It's the end of an era She's gonna tear up That interstate on her way to Charleston She's gone movin' on Takin' off my leather jacket Gonna drive as far as she can tonight Gonna sleep on the roadside She'll know when our hometown country station turns to static She ain't ever been that far from home But I know she's better off gone Better off, better off gone Better off, better off gone Better off, better off gone Better off, better off gone We all knew that she was too good for Kansas She swears we'll end up together in the end She wouldn't have to say that If she really thought that fact is She ain't comin' back again And she's gone movin' on Takin' off my leather jacket She gonna drive as far as she can tonight Gonna sleep on the roadside She'll know when our hometown country station turns to static She ain't ever been that far from home But I know she's better off gone Better off, better off gone Better off, better off gone Only good thing I ever had Just up and gone away like that I love her enough to not hold on It's gonna break my heart but I'll get along 'Cause she's better off gone She's gone, movin' on Takin' off my leather jacket She gonna drive as far as she can tonight She gonna sleep on the roadside She'll know when our hometown country station turns to static She ain't ever been that far from home But I know she's better off gone Better off, better off gone, better off (I know she's better off gone) Better off, better off gone, better off (She's better off) Better off, better off gone, better off (She's better off gone) Better off, better off gone Better off, better off gone
