Jeff Trott - Take Me To Higher Ground lyrics

I have found When the sh** hits the fan and I'm breaking My aching head is making crazy sounds It's hard to stay straight in this twisted town Where the others jump and die or drown Can you take me to higher ground? Because I found: When they drink to my health to watch me drown Toss in the towel as I'm going down When my fifteen minutes have come and gone And the credits roll and the critics yawn You shine like gold in tinsel town And you take me to higher ground Hell only knows I never intended to pave my road With broken hearts and broken homes In the name of love, in the name of hope We raced neck and neck to the hangman's rope When they stabbed my back I cut their throat Can you take me to higher ground Because I tried I tried hitting the bottle, pressing my luck Setting the throttle to self-destruct Where does it stop , how low is low I thought when I hit bottom I'd find my soul Man I'm just a goddamned bottomless hole Can you take me to higher ground When my fifteen minutes have come and gone And the credits roll and the critics yawn You shine like gold in tinsel town And you take me to higher ground
