Lyrics
Verse 1
Packed up the house in Duluth in a single day
Strapped the canoe to the top and we drove away
Windows down and the radio on a country station
Got a cooler full of pirogies for the whole vacation
Snow on the ground was melting in the rearview mirror
And the tires sang a song gettin' south of here
Pre-Chorus
Every mile gets warmer
Every mile gets bright
Got a tank full of gas
And a mortgage-free night
Chorus
Snowbird life
Southbound on the 77
Leaving all the frostbite
Heading for a piece of heaven
Flapping these old wings
Got a destination
Snowbird life
Best migration
Verse 2
Stopped in Fargo just to buy a new pair of shades
Saw a man selling pecans under canvas awnings
By the time we hit Nebraska we had shed our coats
Goodbye to the shovels and the frozen moats
Sang every song on the radio twice
Kansas flew by in a blur of sun and spice
Pre-Chorus
Every mile gets warmer
Every mile gets bright
Got a tank full of gas
And a mortgage-free night
Chorus
Snowbird life
Southbound on the 77
Leaving all the frostbite
Heading for a piece of heaven
Flapping these old wings
Got a destination
Snowbird life
Best migration
Bridge
Down where the palms sway in a Gulf breeze
Down where the forecast never shows a freeze
We'll rent a little stucco by the salty bay
And wear our flip-flops every single day
We'll be back in May when the lilacs bloom
But right now I'm chasin' that warm lagoon
Guitar Solo
Chorus
Snowbird life
Southbound on the 77
Leaving all the frostbite
Heading for a piece of heaven
Flapping these old wings
Got a destination
Snowbird life
Best migration
Outro
Southbound
Southbound
On the 77
Mm-hmm
Southbound
