You better put more wood in the stove, if you want to see the morning light
With the way you've been out treating me, well you're sleeping alone tonight
You better put more wood in the stove, if you don't want to die from the cold
Cause the only way you'll make it till day is if you put more wood in the stove
It was springtime in the Smokies, when I first caught your eye
And even though the air was cool, temperatures started to rise
By summer we were happy, and the winds were blowing warm
But sneaking in from the west was an awful thunderstorm
You better put more wood in the stove, if you want to see the morning light
With the way you've been out treating me, well you're sleeping alone tonight
You better put more wood in the stove, if you don't want to die from the cold
Cause the only way you'll make it till day is if you put more wood in the stove
By fall things were chilly, and our days were getting short
So we spent our time snuggled inside, trying to keep the other warm
But winter brought the snow, and our shack was full of holes
For the things you said, I'm warm in bed, and you're stuck raking the coals
You better put more wood in the stove, if you want to see the morning light
With the way you've been out treating me, well you're sleeping alone tonight
You better put more wood in the stove, if you don't want to die from the cold
Cause the only way you'll make it till day is if you put more wood in the stove
Yeah, the only way we'll make it till day is if we put more wood in the stove
