Iowa Weather
by Dan Trilk

It’s been a long, cold winter, it’s been a crazy year
It’s goodbye in the morning, I’ll be staying here
You brewed a pot of coffee, set out my favorite mug
The burner is still warm, but it ain’t warm like a hug
Printed on that mug is “World’s Greatest Dad”’
And apart from missing you I’m happy and I’m glad
When you come home for supper I’ll already be gone
Guess you gotta make a dollar to keep a family strong

Oh, this life we have could always be better
But it’s best we remember things change like Iowa weather
And that sparkle in your eye is like the North Star
And I’ll always follow, no matter how far

Now I’m sorting the laundry, scraping food off the kitchen floor
Trying not to step on the kittens, making sure that the kids ain’t bored
And you, well you’re downtown working, trying to get it all done at best
Hoping for that dollar raise to help make up for what we lost out west

Oh, this life we have could always be better
But it’s best we remember things change like Iowa weather
And that sparkle in your eye is like the North Star
And I’ll always follow, no matter how far

Instrumental

And when the evening’s over I’ll slip into the house
Half trying not to wake you, I’ll kiss you on the mouth
But we got a baby sitter next Friday night I think
We’ll put on nice sweaters, probably have a drink
We’ll get caught up on some things, try to forget about all the rest
You tell me I’m handsome, I tell you you’re the best

Oh, this life we have could always be better
But it’s best we remember things change like Iowa weather
And that sparkle in your eye is like the North Star
And I’ll always follow, no matter how far
Oh, this life we have couldn’t be any better
But it’s best we remember things change like Iowa weather
And that sparkle in your eye is like the North Star
And I’ll always follow, no matter how far
