[Verse 1: Mike Campbell]
Come hell or high water, I'll find my way home tonight
Sometimes I feel so alone way down inside
From out of the shadows, she came to me, you see
I wasn't lookin’ for trouble, oh, no, not me
Three empty bottles under the bed
She said, "There's plenty more where that came from out in the shed"
Next thing I remember, I was playin' guitar
In some bar
Way on the outskirts of town
Comin' down

[Chorus: Mike Campbell & Lucinda Williams]
Everyone said, "She's the devil's daughter"
They did thеir best to drag her through the squalor
Shе can't be blamed for the sins of her father
Come hell or high water to get out of this

[Verse 2: Lucinda Williams]
Under a flashing neon light, we lied
Chasing some wild dream through the night
He sang to me in soft, soothing tones
Words that gave me a shiver right through my bones
One slip of the tongue, one slip of the wrist
He lives his life on the edge, hand over fist
Deep in the darkness, we shared our last kiss
A lifetime of pain for one night of bliss
[Chorus: Mike Campbell & Lucinda Williams]
I dragged her out of the mud by her collar
She fell so hard, I barely caught her
And all she had on her was one silver dollar
Come hell or high water to get out of this

[Bridge: Mike Campbell & Lucinda Williams]
Come hell or high water
Hell or high water
Could be a case of mistaken identity
Sometimes, you can't tell your friends from your enemies

[Chorus: Mike Campbell & Lucinda Williams]
She looks so nice in the dress I bought her
Dancin' in the moonlight with all the night crawlers
She got away, they nearly caught her
Come hell or high water to get out of this
Come hell or high water
