Jimmy Webb Updates ‘Galveston’ Lyrics After Texas Cold Snap
Songwriting legend Jimmy Webb has updated his classic ‘Galveston’ following a cold snap today which plunged the Texas city into sub-zero temperatures and covered Galveston beach in snow.
Galveston got down to -4 degrees C overnight (24 degrees F).
Jimmy Webb posted to his socials, “Hearing about snow in Galveston, I’ve written new lyrics. (Galveston Beach covered in snow after a winter storm passed through the area).
“I still see her standing by the water
Standing there looking out to SNOW
IF THAT’S HOME I JUST WON’T GO
TO the beach where we used to run
Lost Galveston gives inside look at island s architectural history, colorful past
