Story Behind The Song
Co-writer, Mike Barada, came to me with the idea of comparing a relationship to driving in the snow, and after several months of writing and rewriting, OZARK MOUNTAIN SNOW was born.

Lyrics
Headin' West on 44 it's gettin' hard to see
Flurries comin' down turnin' the brown hills white
I felt the same chill in July when she left
So when she said she missed me I said I'll be there tonight
But the roads are gettin' icy got me movin' at a crawl
Don't know what lies ahead if I got a chance at all
Drivin' in the Ozark Mountain Snow
Keepin' my distance and takin' it slow
This ride's like us a lotta stop and go
But worth it if she's mine at the end of the road
Yeah love's a lot like drivin' in the Ozark Mountain Snow
Passin' spun-out SUVs weather's gettin' worse
No December storm is gonna stop me now
These detours and roadblocks are causing delays
They remind me of our struggles 'n how they shut us down
But she has my heart forever and that'll never change
She melts it like the sun melts Missouri snow away
REPEAT CHORUS
BRIDGE
If it was anybody else but her
I'd prob'ly pack it in
But me and this old frozen truck
Would do it all again
So I'm
REPEAT CHORUS
