Snow on My Back

Lyrics

Verse 1
I slept by the fence line
With my ribs like a drum
Muddy paws, cracked paws
No one called me home

I chased every wagon
Every boot in the dust
Got a mouthful of winter
And a heart full of rust

Pre-Chorus
Then I saw the fire
Across the frozen rise
One small circle shining
Like a thousand eyes

Chorus
Come on, come on
I’m not alone
Come on, come on
Lead me home

Ho-ooh, ho-ooh
I hear my name
Ho-ooh, ho-ooh
I’m safe again

Verse 2
A child with a blanket
Set a bowl by the tree
A woman said, easy now
And sat down next to me

A man with a soft hand
Rubbed the cold from my ears
I leaned into their laughter
Like I’d waited years

Pre-Chorus
Then the door opened wide
Warmth rolled out like dawn
I stepped through the shadows
And the long night was gone

Chorus
Come on, come on
I’m not alone
Come on, come on
Lead me home

Ho-ooh, ho-ooh
I hear my name
Ho-ooh, ho-ooh
I’m safe again

Bridge
A howl in the canyon
A rumble in my throat
I sang to the mountain
I sang to the snow

Then their hands found my shoulders
Their voices held the dark
Four hearts beating closer
Now we never part

Final Chorus
Come on, come on
I’m not alone
Come on, come on
Lead me home

Ho-ooh, ho-ooh
I hear my name
Ho-ooh, ho-ooh
I’m safe again

Come on, come on
I’m not alone
Come on, come on
I found my home
