A Higher Place (Alternate Version)
[Intro]
Should we try it?
A-one, a-two
One, two
[Verse 1]
We gotta get to a higher place
And we gotta leave by night
Before that river takes us down
We gotta find some place that's dry
Yeah, we gotta run like we've never run
Or we're gonna lose the light
[Chorus]
If we don't get to a higher place and find somebody
Can help somebody, might be nobody no more
[Verse 2]
Well, I fool myself and I don't know why
I thought we could ride this out
I been up all night making up my mind
But now I've got my doubts
Wеll, I got one eye on thе waterline
Trying to keep my sense of humor
[Chorus]
But if we don't get to a higher place and find somebody
Can help somebody, might be nobody no more
[Bridge]
We gotta get to a higher place
And I hope we all arrive together
We gotta get to a higher place
If we want to survive the weather
[Verse 3]
I remember walking with her in town
Her hair was in the wind
I gave her my best kiss
She gave it back again
Well, when I add up what I've left behind
I don't want to lose no more
[Chorus]
But if we don't get to a higher place and find somebody
Can help somebody, might be nobody no more
[Outro]
Real good
That was great
Real good
