[G] I still write your name in the snow.
And the reason I wrote that, I wrote it with Billy Ed Witter, by the way.
at Versailles [F] Apartments and we'd paddle around together and talk about this and that.
And I said, you know, nobody's ever written a song about, you know, when we're in the country,
if we had to go pee, we'd go out on the porch.
We called it going out on the porch.

And the reason I wrote that, I wrote it with Billy Ed Witter, by the way.
I used to go out and see him at Versailles [F] Apartments and _ _ _ we'd _ paddle around together and talk about this and that.
But anyway, we were walking one day and there was a snow on the ground.

if we had to go pee, we'd go out on the porch.
_ We called it going out on the porch. _
_ And I said, we should write a song like that.
_ So we went in this _ apartment there and wrote this thing. _

_ _ _ [G] Do we have a band on this? _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ I'm almost sorry now, [C] I caught you messing [G] around.
Cause you picked up, you packed up your pickup, _
[A] _ boogied out [D] of town.
[G] Well, darling, _ I'd like for [C] you to know _ that [G] I still _ _ [D] write your name [G] in the snow. _
_ _ _ [C] When the snowflakes fall, I [G] think of you. _
_ _ _ [A] I think of you and have to [D] settle down. _
_ _ _ [G] Do you think of me when you're [C] feeling low _
_ _ _ [G] and wish you could [D] write my name?
[G] _ _ _
_ _ _ [Em] _ _ _

I see now that I was only [F#m] tinkling [D] in the wind. _
_ _ _ [G] You've hurt me more than you will [C] ever know.
_ _ [G] And I still _ write [D] your name [G] in the snow. _ _ _ _
[C] When the snowflakes fall, I [G] guess I see _ _ the [D] happy you and me that used [G] to be. _ _ _ _
[C] I write your name so [G] beautifully, _ _ [Em] _ _
[A] but it's hard to cross the eyes and dot [D] the T. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _
[G] Do you think of me when you're [C] feeling low _ _ _ and wish you could write my [F#m] name [G] in the snow?
