Tom Russell Band - California snow

I'm just ^Atrying to make a ^Dliving I'm an ^Aold man at 3^D9 ^ATwo kids and an ^Dex-wife ^EMoved up to Riverside ^AWorking down on the ^Dborder Driving ^Aback roads every ^Dnight ^AMountains east of ^DEl Cajon ^ENorth of the Tecate ^ALine

Well the ^DCalifornia ^Esummer sun will ^Aburn right to your ^Dsoul ^AIn the winter you can ^Dfreeze to death In the [G]California [C]snow [F][C][F]

^AI catch the ones I'm ^Dable to Watch the ^Aothers slip a^Dway ^AI know some by their ^Dfaces And I ^Eeven know some by name ^AGuess they think that ^Dwe're all movie ^Astars and millio^Dnaires ^AGuess that they ^Dstill believe that ^Edreams come true up ^Ahere

But I ^Dbet the weather's ^Ewarmer ^Adown in Mexi^Dco ^AAnd no one ever ^Dtells them 'bout the ^ECalifornia ^Asnow ^DAD

^ALast winter found a ^Dman and wife ^AJust about day ^Dbreak ^ALaying in a ^Dfrozen ditch ^ESouth of the interstate ^AI wrapped 'em both in ^Dblankets But ^Ashe'd already ^Ddied ^ANext day we sent him ^Dback alone ^EAcross the border^Aline

^DDon't know where they ^Ecame from Or ^Awhere they planned to ^Dgo ^ABut he carried her ^Dall night long Through the [G]California [C]snow [F] [C] [F]

^ASometimes when I'm ^Dalone out here I get to ^Athinking about my ^Dlife ^AMaybe I should go to ^DRiverside And try to ^Efix things with my wife ^AMaybe just get in ^Dmy truck And drive as ^Afar as I can ^Dgo ^AAway from all the ^Dghosts that haunt The ^ECalifornia ^Asnow

Well the ^DCalifornia ^Esummer sun can ^Aburn right to your ^Dsoul ^AIn the winter you can ^Dfreeze to death In the [G]California [C]snow [F] [C] [F] ^AIn the winter you can ^Dfreeze to death In the ^ECalifornia ^Asnow ^D
