Higher Ground Thunder

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 lives are incomplete

It don't look no better than it did before

And I know what's happening behind each closed door

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

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

CHORUS

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...

As a young boy I didn't fit in

And I knew it then I wouldn't be the same

But 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 my name...

CHORUS

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

I can feeling it driving me away

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

I'm gonna waste my life away

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