gonna make it through this year

i am six feet under snow

and i have nowhere to go

the ice is thick and my feet are clamped

i know how my cards are stacked

find the heat over a bay

or in the scraps of someone's plate

guess i'll leave it up to fate

it's all i've got anyway

gonna make it through this year

gonna make it through this year

gonna make it through

gonna ride the bus to the other side

of town

try my luck down over there

where i did my best to explain

nobody understands a word i say

got a lot to be thankful for this year

but i guess you could say i'm down on my luck

wonder where i will end up tonight

wonder where i will get stuck

gonna make it through this year

gonna make it through this year

gonna make it through

gonna make it through
