Its Cold in Detroit Tonight written by Brett Lucas and Tosha Owens

16 Below… on a cold February Night
Heading for home… away from the city lights
I see a man with a sign…outside my window
Will work for food…Im hungry with nowhere to go

A few years back..I could’ve said “yes, I know”
And as I drove by…the tears began to flow
I recall how the wind…chilled my bones
Knowing all the while…I’d wake up alone

How quickly we forget
How it feels to have nothing left
No one to call on
No one by your side
It’s cold in Detroit tonight

30 minutes down the road…and I make it home
She greets me with a smile and says
Momma dinner’s warm
I look into her eyes and I saw myself in life before her
And I knew right then and there
It was time to pay it forward

How quickly we forget
How it feels to have nothing left
No one to call on
No one by your side
It’s cold in Detroit tonight
