[Verse 1]
[C]Ridin' Out The Storm Lyrics
The New York City winter comes in cold
grey sheets of steel
[Em]The numbness in his hands and
feet is all that he can feel
[Am]Alcohol [F]and sterno turns
a [C]doorway to a bed

[Verse 2]
And the [C]ghost of who he might have
been lives [G]on inside his [Am]head
In [C]a canyon made of brownstone
on a sidewalk icy black
He [Em]wanders nearly barefoot
with his righteousness in tact
A [Am]man of many mans[F]ions in a
[C]cardboard box replete

[Verse 3]
He lies [C]sleeping with an angel while
his [G]heart pretends to [Am]beat
The [F]wind blows down on Lonely Street
like an ice pick through the air
Midst [Am]the Sunday times and coffee
grinds and wino's in Times Square
[F]Five flights up on Easy Street you
[C]know she's safe and warm

[Verse 4]
[C]Way down low neath a foot of snow
he's [G]riding out [A]the storm[Am]
I [C]offered him my winter coat
politely he refused
Like an [Em]educated man he spoke
with words I seldom use
He [Am]said I don't need [F]pity for
these [C]choices are my own

[Verse 5]
He [C]bowed his head just slightly and [G]quietly moved along

[G][F][C][Am][C]
Its not like he's a victim of the
homeless life he stalks
[Em]Nor helpless to get back across
the fine line that he walks
[Am]Riding out the [F]storm means yester
[C]day's already spent

[Verse 6]
[C]Tomorrow don't mean nothing it won't [G]even make a dent
