Mike Gunther - Highwater lyrics

Now as I stand If I ever make it back to sunny tobia Oh the magistrate or anywhere where the water rolls in the springtime now from where i sit my wife thumbs through picture postcards or the way I promished I'd give or the ways that I swore I'd live but her eyes have turned the color of a who*e Like hell and highwater oh highwater highwater highwater now in my left hand, is the wealth my father willed me oh but my right hand says, tie the knot that will set you free when i was young, highwater took my house away and now that I'm old, highwater's all can save me oh well her arms so deep and wide we'll hold you home Like hell and highwater Now there are times, when the whistle of a southbound trains bothers these empty bottle reflections born and raised on bourbon whiskey worry in a father's tear whiskey worry in a father's tear whiskey worry in a father's tear for life, highwater highwater highwater highwater highwater highwater highwater
