Tom Russell - California Snow lyrics
I'm just trying to earn a living I'm an old man at 39 My two kids and my ex-wife Moved up to Riverside I’m an agent on the border I drive the back roads every night Mountains east of El Cajon North of the Tecate Line Well the California summer sun Will burn right to your soul In the winter you can freeze to death In the California snow I catch the ones I'm able to I watch the others slip away Of some I know their faces I might even know their names I guess they think that we're all Movie stars and millionaires I guess they think their dreams and hopes Will all come true up here But I bet the weather's warmer Way down in Mexico But no one ever warned them 'bout The California snow Last winter I found a man and wife - It was just about daybreak Lying in a frozen ditch North of the Interstate I wrapped 'em in a blanket Lord, but she'd already died We shipped the man on back alone South of the borderline And I don't know where they came from Or where they planned to go But he carried her body all night long Through the California snow Man, the things I’ve seen out here Make me think about my life I might go back to Riverside And try to fix things with my wife Or maybe just get in my truck And drive as far as I can go Away from all these ghosts that haunt The California snow And the California summer sun Will burn right to your soul But in the winter you can freeze to death In the California snow In the winter you can freeze to death In the California snow |
