Higher Ground (2019 Version)

Feel the wind blow on the corner

And I'm looking down along this busy street

All the people are getting older

They don't give a damn their lives are incomplete

It 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 got to steal away

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

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

Late train

There's a world you've never seen

But I feel it 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

Baby you and me were meant for higher ground

We 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

We 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

We got to steal away
