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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

In the California snow[00:00:52]

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

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

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

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

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

Movie stars and millionaires[00:01:15]

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

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

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

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

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

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

Just about daybreak[00:01:51]

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

South of the interstate[00:01:57]

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

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

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

Across the borderline[00:02:11]

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

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

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

Through the California snow[00:02:26]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The California snow[00:03:05]

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

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

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

In the California snow[00:03:22]

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

In the California snow[00:03:33]
