lyrics

Well, the fellas are loading up, in a hurry to get going.
They want to cross the mountains before it starts snowing.
And there’s a boy skipping town with money still owing.
Outside the hotel, his girl’s waving to him
And he doesn’t look away
But he doesn’t look at her face.
Yeah, he said he’d take her with him
But that’s just something you say to women
When you want to get laid.

Outside the hotel, the girl turns around
And looks at the buildings she calls her hometown.
In the bar across the street she buys the locals a round
And sits by the window, watching the snow falling down.
And she’s glad the boy’s gone,
He’d hung around too long.
Yeah, he was good looking,
But she knew she didn’t love him
And she was getting scared that maybe he’d stay.

And the snow on the ground
Muffles the sound
And all of that white
Shines like a light.
From the courthouse to the whorehouse
On the edge of the town,
There’s light, there’s light,
Enough to go round.

And the factory boys are heeding the bell.
They all wish that they was leaving as well.
How they got wives and children they never could tell,
Their memories were clouded by that factory smell.
They remembered playing in the woods
And reading their school books
But they didn’t remember agreeing
To having trouble breathing
And having trouble with all these bills they had to pay.

And the snow on the ground
Muffles the sound
And all of that white
Shines like a light.
From the courthouse to the whorehouse
On the edge of the town,
There’s light, there’s light,
Enough to go round.

At a window there’s a dealer, watching the world turn pale.
He reaches out his arm to read the falling snow like Braille.
He reads a new way that he can tip the scales,
And writes a message to his brother who’s gone back to jail.
Yeah, he hurt the kid bad,
But just doing his job as a dad.
And he confessed in the end
To fucking-up his daughter’s boyfriend.
Well that prick won’t hurt no-one’s daughter again.

And the snow on the ground
Muffles the sound
And all of that white
Shines like a light.
From the courthouse to the whorehouse
On the edge of the town,
There’s light, there’s light,
Enough to go round.
