Higher Ground

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 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 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 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've got to steal away (Solo) 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 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, we've got to steal away You and me baby, we've got to steal away, turn it on, turn it on
