Higher Ground

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.

Baby, you and me were meant for higher ground

We've got to steal away, uh

I feel the wind blow, on the corner

and I'm looking down along this dead end street

All the people, are getting older

but they don't give a damn, their lifes are incompleate

I don't look no better than it did before

And I know what's happening behind each door

If I don't get out today, I'm gonna waste my life away

That's a part that I can't play

I don't wanna spend my whole life in this town

I can feel it driving me away

Baby, you and me were meant for higher ground

We've got to steal away

uh

As a young boy, I didn't fit in, and i knew it then

I wouldn't be the same

That was only in the beginning, and as the time rolled on deeper grew the pain

So give me one good reason, why I should stay!

I think I've got enough money for the late night train

There's a world you've never seen

But I've been there in my dreams

It's calling out to me

I don't wanna spend my whole life in this town

I can feel it driving me away

'cause baby, you and me were meant for higher ground

We've got to steal away

If I don't get out today, I'm gonna waste my life away

And that's a part that I can't play

I don't wanna spend my whole life in this town

I can feel it driving me away

Baby, you and me were meant for higher ground

We've got to steal away

I don't wanna spend my whole life in this town

I can feel it driving me away

Baby, you and me were meant for higher ground

I don't wanna spend my whole life in this town

I can feel it driving me away

Baby, you and me were meant for higher ground

We've got to steal away

(I don't wanna spend my whole life in this town)

Oh, got to steal away

(baby, you and me were meant for higher ground)

Got to steal away
