    no friends on a powder day - the song

    music @ https://soundcloud.com/andyreiner/ai...ds-on-a-powder
    lyrics below!

    Storm’s a comin, we gotta go
    Sail through that untracked mountain snow
    Pour that coffee in your cup
    we gotta hurry up
    You’re the slowest person that I know

    chorus
    Ain’t no friends on a powder day
    If they fall they’ve gone away
    Got no time for waiting round
    I’ll be gone before you frown
    Ain’t no friends on a powder day

    I’m not that sorry you lost your ski
    I can see it high up in a tree
    Any other day I’d help you
    But there’s a place I’ve got to get to
    Without you I feel so free

    There’s a little voice inside my head
    Telling me that you’re not dead
    I haven’t got the time
    To check if you are fine
    To your slowness I am not wed

    You said this time you’d pick up the pace
    Even though it’s not a race
    You stopped and now you’re stuck
    I don’t really give a fuck
    Taste the snow covering your face

    You said the problem was your skis
    Either that, or it’s your knees
    The problem’s in your mind
    So I’m leaving you behind
    I’ll be over in the trees

    After the sun comes out to shine
    I’ll look up at my line
    Perfect turns left and right
    I can see it in the light
    Powder day and still you whine

    Any other day, on me you can depend
    I’ll be there with you until the end
    When the snow turns into corn
    If your mind is filled with scorn
    Surely you can find another friend

    not so much that using the word 'fuck' made the song any less but I figured out a different line that is even more in the spirit of no friends on a powder day and still rhymes

    You stopped and now you’re stuck
    now you're on your own, good luck

    (as opposed to 'I don't really give a fuck)

    Ooh. Too bluegrass. Plug it in. Turn up the distortion. Pick up the tempo.
    No longer stuck.
