lyrics
There's a blizzard on the road to Aurora
And the snow and ice, they make for rough terrain
it's a blinding winding way there, to be sure
And I won't care if I don't come back here again
There's a big dog that barks, he don't like me
And his eyes follow me every step I take
Man, I wish I could get me some whiskey
Or something strong enough to help dull this ache
Aurora, Aurora
Aurora, why d'you do me like you do
Aurora, Aurora
If I don't make it home alive, I'll place the blame on you
Well, it's true I'd rather stay here in the city
And sit and think about what moves to make
But I'm moved to make the trip out to Aurora
And find out for myself if it's a mistake
Aurora, Aurora
Aurora, you're no friend of mine
Aurora, Aurora
If I don't see your face again, I think I'll be just fine
I know I'll be just fine
