Lyrics Blizzard - Bill Thwing

Nine O'clock in the evening and we were ready for bed
When a knock sat the door got me out of my chair
Gave me something to do... instead

My next-door neighbor, named Daniel
was begging me to go for a ride
His brother's car was stuck on a snow drift
I was needed to help get him off

A blizzard had blown in from the mountains
And the road was snowy and white
The Alberta prairie could barely be seen
In the cars bright headlight beams

Alberta blizzards are scary. Many had died in their wake
What had I got myself into? I hope I don't die for God's sake

Heading south /for the first miles /was easy as pie
Slant snow blew/ Straight 'cross /our face
But then we took a big turn to the West
And soon we were deep in a ditch

We continued on foot but were blinded by snow
A breath-taking wind it did blow
We could hardly breath as we trudged down the road
Our Parkas pulled over our nose

Somehow or other we stayed on the road
Found the car perched high on a drift
We climbed on up and looked all around
No sign of Dan's brother was found

Alberta blizzards are scary. Many had died in their wake
What had I got myself into? I hope I don't die for God's sake

To the South a dim glow shone forth thru the snow
A farmhouse was right there by the road
In its warmth and it's light we stayed there all night
Playing cards with that old farmer's wife

Next morning, the blizzard blew off in a huff
and soon we blew off with it too
Before too long we were home in our beds
Thanking God that we were not dead
Thanking God that we were alive
We were lucky as hell we'd survived.
Thanking God that we were alive
We were lucky as hell we'd survived

Alberta blizzards are scary Many have died in their wake
I'd got myself into a blizzard and I did not die by God's grace
By God's grace
