[00:00:00] It Sure Can Get Cold In Des Moines - Tom T. Hall

[00:00:02] Written by：Tom T. Hall

[00:00:06] The iowa weather was 13 below

[00:00:14] I had come to des moines for a radio show

[00:00:21] I awoke in the evening from a traveler's sleep

[00:00:27] With notions of something to eat

[00:00:34] The old elevator slid down past the floors

[00:00:40] My head and my eyes said

[00:00:44] You should have slept more

[00:00:48] The man at the desk said the restaurant was closed

[00:00:55] Outside it was 14 below

[00:01:01] The lounge was still open and so I walked in

[00:01:09] In place of my food I had two double gins

[00:01:16] I looked 'round the room

[00:01:19] As a tourist would do

[00:01:22] That's when I saw the girl in the booth

[00:01:29] She sat there and cried in the smoky half dark

[00:01:35] The silent type crying that tears out your heart

[00:01:43] Her clothes were not cut in the new modern way

[00:01:50] And her suitcase had seen better days

[00:01:57] Nobody asked her what caused her such pain

[00:02:04] Nobody spoke up yet no one complained

[00:02:11] Without even asking

[00:02:14] I knew why she cried

[00:02:17] Life is just like that sometimes

[00:02:23] The man at the desk said

[00:02:27] It's 15 below

[00:02:30] The bellhop said yeah man

[00:02:33] That's cold that's cold

[00:02:38] I went back to my room and

[00:02:41] I wrote down this song

[00:02:44] Oh it sure can get cold in des moines
