| A cement building
|
| White cinderblocks
|
| And faded red letters
|
| The sign read «cold spot»
|
| He worked behind the counter
|
| To them he was an old man
|
| When my world was crumbling
|
| My grandpa gave me his hand
|
| It was crickets, minnows and kerosene
|
| RC, moon pies and a softball team
|
| Learned about life
|
| Learned about girls
|
| Learned about livin' in this cold, cruel world
|
| It’s where you bought your tag for your white-tailed deer
|
| Where the southern baptist bought the most beer
|
| A hole in the wall with holes in the wall
|
| From behind this counter you saw it all
|
| At the cold spot
|
| It was cool in July, warm in December
|
| If I live a hundred years, I’ll always remember
|
| The song and the hum to that old ceiling fan
|
| And his north Georgia voice saying, «Buddy, you can»
|
| Out here, I’m just a kid trying to make a name
|
| I am who I am because he raised Kane, selling
|
| Crickets and minnows and kerosene
|
| RC, moon pies and a softball team
|
| Learned about life
|
| Learned about girls
|
| Learned about livin' in this cold, cruel world
|
| It’s where you bought your tag for your white-tailed deer
|
| Where the southern baptist bought the most beer
|
| A hole in the wall with holes in the wall
|
| From behind this counter you saw it all
|
| At the cold spot
|
| Oh yeah
|
| At the cold spot
|
| It was crickets, minnows and kerosene
|
| RC, moon pies and a softball team
|
| Learned about life
|
| Learned about girls
|
| Learned about livin' in this cold, cruel world
|
| It was heaven on earth when my world was hell
|
| And the big stores came and the business failed
|
| But all my memories are alive and well
|
| At the cold spot
|
| Oh yeah
|
| At the cold spot
|
| Take me back to the cold spot |
