Lyrics
The Night John Steinbeck Died <br />
(all words and music by Don Charbonneau) <br />
<br />
It’s cold out here tonight <br />
Wind is just a howling <br />
I’m walking down this highway <br />
Going back to my northern home <br />
It’s cold out here tonight <br />
First is snow falling down <br />
I’m walking down this highway <br />
I’m going back to my northern home. <br />
<br />
I came out here six months ago <br />
Just a country boy <br />
Looking for a city job <br />
Got work in a stamping plant <br />
Making parts for cars <br />
I still can’t afford. <br />
<br />
It’s cold out here tonight <br />
Wind is just a howling <br />
I’m walking down this highway <br />
Going back to my northern home <br />
It’s cold out here tonight <br />
First snow is falling down <br />
I’m walking down this highway <br />
I’m going back to my Northern home <br />
<br />
Met a girl out here <br />
She worked in a local bar <br />
Went to school by day <br />
And did her research here at night <br />
She said Don I got to tell you now <br />
You’re the best damn tipper I ever had <br />
You almost paid my way <br />
To finish this degree <br />
But one thing you got to know ~A city boy you’ll never be <br />
You got to get yourself back home~And touch a star for me. <br />
<br />
It’s cold out here tonight ~ Wind is just a howling <br />
I’m walking down this highway ~ I’m going back to my Northern home. <br />
It’s cold out here tonight ~ First snow is falling down <br />
I’m walking down this highway ~ going back to my Northern home <br />
John if you can hear me now ~ I want to thank you for taking me <br />
To places I’ll never see. <br />
