California Snow Lyrics – Tom Russell
Singer: Tom Russell
Title: California Snow
I’m just tryin’ to make a livin’
I’m an old man at thirty-nine
With two kids and an ex-wife
Who moved up to Riverside
I’m workin’ down on the border
Drivin’ back roads every night
Mountains east of El Cajon
North of the Tecate line
Where the California summer sun
Will burn right through your soul
But in the winter you can freeze to death
In the California snow
I catch the ones I’m able to
And watch the others slip away
I know some by their faces
And I even know some by name
I guess they think that we’re all
Movie stars and millionairеs
I guess that they still beliеve
That dreams come true up here
But I guess the weather’s warmer down in Mexico
And no one ever tells them ’bout the California snow
Last winter I found a man and wife
Just about daybreak
Layin’ in a frozen ditch
South of the interstate
I wrapped ’em both in blankets
But she’d already died
The next day we sent him back alone
Across the borderline
I don’t know where they came from
Or where they planned to go
But we carried her all night long
Through the California snow
Sometimes when I’m alone out here
I get to thinkin’ about my life
Maybe I should go 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 the ghosts that haunt
The California snow
Where the California summer sun
Can burn right to your soul
And in the winter you can freeze to death
In the California snow
