Cold Summer in San Antone
Heartache Under the Texan Sun: A Cold Summer in San Antone
Lyrics
I crawl outta bed, put my ol' boots on
I start my day by getting out of bed and putting on my old boots.
Head off to work then straight back home
I go to work and return home without engaging with the news or TV.
I don't read the paper, I don't watch tv
I intentionally avoid the paper and television due to the overwhelming bad news.
I've had about all the bad news I need
I've reached a saturation point with negative information.
It's been a cold summer in San Antone
The summer in San Antone feels emotionally cold and distant.
Well, that Texas sun don't even feel like it's on
Despite the hot Texas sun, it doesn't bring warmth or comfort.
It's a hundred and somethin', damn near record high
Extreme heat is mentioned, but the emotional environment remains cold.
But it's minus one in this bedroom tonight
The bedroom is exceptionally cold, symbolizing emotional distance.
I wonder if she even knows
Speculation about whether the person being referred to is aware of the emotional distance.
It's been a cold, cold summer in San Antone
Reiteration of the emotionally cold summer in San Antone.
We had a good run and that flame burnt hot
Reflecting on a past passionate relationship that ended abruptly.
But over her's the one thing that I'm still not
The unresolved issue or regret lingering after the breakup.
I guess hell froze over 'cause that's what she swore
Expressing surprise or disbelief about the breakup, considering it unlikely.
Would happen before she ever walked out the door
An anticipated event (breakup) occurred despite expectations to the contrary.
It's been a cold summer in San Antone
Reiteration of the emotional coldness during the summer in San Antone.
Well, that Texas sun don't even feel like it's on
The Texas sun's heat fails to provide emotional warmth.
It's a hundred and somethin', damn near record high
Extreme temperature mentioned again, contrasting with emotional coldness.
But it's minus one in this bedroom tonight
The bedroom's coldness intensifies the emotional isolation.
I wonder if she even knows
Questioning whether the other person is aware of the emotional distance.
That it's been a cold, cold summer in San Antone
Reiteration of the emotionally cold summer in San Antone.
I've got a bottle of whiskey and a mind full of memories
The speaker copes with memories using whiskey, implying emotional pain.
That I've been leanin' on
The speaker relies on memories for support during difficult times.
Yeah, and maybe by winter I'll be a little less bitter
Hope for personal growth and healing, possibly by winter.
And the days won't feel so long
Expectation that time will alleviate the emotional burden.
It's been a cold summer in San Antone
Reiteration of the emotionally cold summer in San Antone.
That Texas sun don't even feel like it's on
The Texas sun's warmth still fails to provide comfort.
It's a hundred and somethin', damn near record high
Extreme temperature mentioned once more, highlighting emotional coldness.
But it's minus one in this bedroom tonight
The bedroom remains emotionally cold despite external conditions.
And I wonder if she even knows
Questioning whether the other person is aware and moving on.
She's the only one that's movin' on
Confirmation that the other person is moving on while the speaker remains in emotional coldness.
It's been a cold, cold summer in San Antone
Final reiteration of the emotionally cold summer in San Antone.
