Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers - A Higher Place lyrics

We gotta get to a higher place And we gotta leave by night Before that river takes us down We gotta find some place that's dry We gotta run like we've never run Or we're gonna lose the light If we don't get to a higher place and find somebody Can help somebody, might be nobody no more Well, I fool myself and I don't know why I thought we could ride this out I was up all night making up my mind But now I've got my doubts I got my eye on the waterline Trying to keep my sense of humor But if we don't get to a higher place and find somebody Can help somebody, might be nobody no more We gotta get to a higher place And I hope we all arrive together We gotta get to a higher place If we want to survive the weather I remember walking with her in town Her hair was in the wind I gave her my best kiss She gave it back again When I add up what I've left behind I don't want to lose no more But if we don't get to a higher place and find somebody Can help somebody, might be nobody no more
