It was so weird because that same night, Coy, our guitar player, stopped by. I felt like this song needed the way he wrote, so I invited Levi over to my house one night, and we wrote the rest of the verses.
Levi Lowrey is one of the best artists I know. I did what I always do: sing it to the guys and say, “What do you think of this?” And they’ll go, “Oh yeah, that’s great!” I sat on the song for six months after that. You can just tell as a writer when you’ve written something that has a chance to be big or special. Me and Zac worked on the first chorus together. I hung up the phone, walked on the bus and wrote the chorus and the melody to the chorus. I had to call her and tell her that I wasn’t going to make it.
Instead, we just went on to wherever we were going next. We were supposed to go to Kansas City the next day for some radio thing, but the radio people canceled. We were in Green Bay, Wisc., playing a show with Little Big Town, and it was pouring down snow. I wasn’t willing to do that because we were just getting started, and I’m chasing my dreams. She was getting pretty frustrated with the whole thing and wanted me to slow down, as far as traveling so much and all those things. We really liked each other, but geography and timing just wasn’t working for us. There was a girl I was seeing, who lived in Kansas City. The Boot sat down with songwriter Wyatt Durrette to discuss the Zac Brown Band‘s hit single, ‘Colder Weather.’ Wyatt started the song, but it soon turned into a group collaboration with ZBB members Zac Brown and Coy Bowles, as well as Southern Ground Records artist Levi Lowrey. Song FactI thought the interpretation of Zac's brother on meth ("ice") was the correct interpretation, but I just read this (from /zac-brown-band-colder-weather-lyrics/): I can smell your perfume through these whispering pines I ain't ever gonna change (I ain't ever gonna change)Īnd I was born for leavin' (born for leavin') You know it's you that calls me back here, baby The night is black as the coffee he was drinkin',Īnd in the waitress' eyes he sees the same 'ol light is shinin' She'd trade Colorado if he'd take her with himĬloses the door before the winter lets the cold inĪnd wonders if her love is strong enough to make him stayĪt a truck stop diner just outside of Lincoln
