Great Lake Swimmers
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
