New November

It was 82 degrees the first day of November
Leaves were still on the trees
We used to wear coats best I remember
Had already past the first freeze

It was 88 degrees the first day of November
Smoke was hanging in the air
Forty days with no rain and the grain turned to cinder
Hope turned into a prayer

It’s getting hot in here
It’s getting hot in here
It’s the new November
And the seasons so strange
I have reason to believe
It’ll never be the same again
It’s getting hot in here

It was 91 degrees the first day of November
Used to be my favorite time of year
Didn’t see no birds flying south for the winter
If winter comes at all this year

It was 95 degrees the first day of November
On the trees there were no leaves at all
If it’s just like a dream
It’s one I’ll remember
Wake up and read the writing on the wall


It’s getting hot in here
It’s getting hot in here
It’s the new November
And the seasons so strange
I have reason to believe
It’ll never be the same again
It’s getting hot in here
