Hold Back The Water

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Headed 'cross the border

Looking for a place to play

I left the sun behind

I don't mind

But I think that it looked like rain

Hold back the water

I gotta find time to burn

Hold back the water

I gotta find time to burn

Headed west to Georgia

Looking for the road to L.A.

They say the weather's fine

But the sun don't shine

'Cause the smog's always in the way

Hold back the water

I gotta find time to burn

Hold back the water (Yo!)

I gotta find time to burn

I've never played no smoker

You know I've never played no hotdog

The preacher say

I was born this way

With storm cloud in my heart

Hold back the water

I gotta find time to burn

Hold back the water

I gotta find time to burn

I gotta find time to burn

I gotta find time to burn

I gotta find time to burn (Whooo)

Headed 'cross the border

Looking for a place to play

I left the sun behind

I don't mind

But I think that it looked like rain

Hold back the water

I gotta find time to burn

Hold back the water (Yo!)

I gotta find time to burn

I gotta find time to burn

I gotta find time to burn

I gotta find time to burn

Hold back the water (Hey!)

I gotta find time to burn
