I'm walking through your town in the snow
I'm walking through your town in the snow
I've got no place to go –
All the trains are running slow
And I'm walking through your town in the snow

It's getting late and all the bars are closed
It's getting late and all the bars are closed
I'm so cold I can't think –
I could really use a drink
And I'm walking through your town in the snow

Don't all these little winter towns all look the same
Don't all these little winter towns all look the same
How the freezing winds they blow
When the mission doors are closed
Now I'm walking through your town in the snow

I carry my home on my back
I carry my home on my back
But the police only frown
Every time I lay it down
And I'm walking through your town in the snow

There's some fellows jungled up by the yard
There's some fellows jungled up by the yard
They're cooking up down there
And I've nothing left to share
And I'm walking through your town in the snow
Maybe I can rustle up a job
Maybe I can rustle up a job
But there's nothing I can do
My best working days are through
And I'm walking through your town in the snow

Don't ever think I'll find my way back home
Don't ever think I'll find my way back home
I can see my golden years
Shining through these golden tears
And I'm walking through your town in the snow

I'm walking through your town in the snow
I'm walking through your town in the snow
I've got no place to go –
All the trains are running slow
And I'm walking through your town in the snow
