Janis Joplin on the radio, she's singin’ bout Bobby McGee

 No windshield wipers slappin’ time, just the Sun, you and me

It’s mid-October, there’s a chill in the air, the leaves fall gracefully

Colors exploding like the 4th of July, no place I’d rather be

 

CHORUS  

These things we do together, 

This day should last forever 

I love October weather (repeat two more times) 


Followed the river up North of town, the road winds lazily 

Through the valley farm fields ebb and flow, you slide over next to me 

Up ahead there’s a Tasty Freeze, kind of a Sunday thing 

Sign on the window says “Closing soon.  See you again in the Spring"

CHORUS  

These things we do together, 

This day should last forever 

I love October weather (repeat two more times) 

 

The valley shadows dance across the road, marshmallow clouds float by 

There’s something moving in the weeds by the creek, then It takes to the sky 

We find a campsite off the road, and unpack our gear 

In the tent the fire rages outside, as you pull me near 


CHORUS 

These things we do together, 

This day should last forever 

I love October weather  

I love October weather

I love October weather
