Higher Ground - Jerry Jeff Walker
Last night I was dreaming
I laying drowning in a stream
But in the light of day
I see it's much more than a dream
Life is like a river
That carries you on down
It's time we make like
We was making tracks for higher ground
I'm always taking chances and got me by on luck
One a few and lost a few
Oh had to suck it up
But I see where it's leading me
I've got to turn around
Today's the day I thought of
Making tracks for higher ground
For higher ground higher ground
Higher ground higher ground
You ain't going nowhere
When you're always falling down
So get off on a good foot
And stop stumbling around
Man I'm off and running
Making tracks for higher ground
Yeah I had a friend
Who said he'd love to drink and run around
Wasn't anyway old mercy'd put that bottle down
Well I just heard the other day
They laid him in the ground
One way or the other brother
We're bound for higher ground
For higher ground higher ground
Higher ground higher ground
You ain't going nowhere
When you're always falling down
You got to pick your head up
Keep your mind and body sound
Man I'm off and running
Making tracks for higher ground
The moral of my story is the fool he never think
And all around you life says
You must change every day
Throw off those old shackles
And get up and dance around
Today's the day we're roping
Making tracks for higher ground
For higher ground higher ground
Higher ground higher ground
You ain't going nowhere
When you're always falling down
Get off on the good foot
And stop stumbling around
Man we're off and running
Making tracks for higher ground
For higher ground higher ground
Higher ground higher ground
You ain't going nowhere
When you're always falling down
Get up on the good foot
And stop stumbling around
Man we're off and running
Making tracks for higher ground
Up and running babe for higher ground
For higher ground baby
Up and running up for higher ground
Don't let me down boys
We're all running up to higher ground
