《California Snow》歌词

[00:00:00] California Snow - Dave Alvin

[00:00:13] I'm just tryin' to make a living

[00:00:16] I'm an old man at thirty-nine

[00:00:20] With two kids and an ex-wife

[00:00:23] Who moved up to riverside

[00:00:26] I'm workin' down on the border

[00:00:28] Drivin' back roads every night

[00:00:33] Mountains east of el cajon

[00:00:36] North of the tecate line

[00:00:40] Where the California summer sun

[00:00:44] Will burn right through your soul

[00:00:49] But in the winter you can freeze to death

[00:00:52] In the California snow

[00:01:00] I catch the ones I'm able to

[00:01:03] And watch the others slip away

[00:01:07] I know some by their faces

[00:01:10] And I even know some by name

[00:01:14] I guess they think that we're all

[00:01:15] Movie stars and millionaires

[00:01:20] I guess that they still believe

[00:01:23] That dreams come true up here

[00:01:27] But I guess the weather's warmer down in Mexico

[00:01:35] And no one ever tells them

[00:01:39] 'Bout the California snow

[00:01:48] Last winter I found a man and wife

[00:01:51] Just about daybreak

[00:01:55] Layin' in a frozen ditch

[00:01:57] South of the interstate

[00:02:01] I wrapped them both in blankets

[00:02:03] But she'd already died

[00:02:07] The next day we sent him back alone

[00:02:11] Across the borderline

[00:02:15] I don't know where they came from

[00:02:18] Or where they planned to go

[00:02:23] But we carried her all night long

[00:02:26] Through the California snow

[00:02:44] Sometimes when I'm alone out here

[00:02:46] I get to thinkin' about my life

[00:02:50] Maybe I should go to riverside

[00:02:52] And try to fix things with my wife

[00:02:56] Or maybe just get in my truck

[00:02:58] And drive as far as I can go

[00:03:03] Away from all the ghosts that haunt

[00:03:05] The California snow

[00:03:10] Where the California summer sun

[00:03:13] Can burn right to your soul

[00:03:19] And in the winter you can freeze to death

[00:03:22] In the California snow

[00:03:31] And in the winter you can freeze to death

[00:03:33] In the California snow
