Higher Ground

Higher Ground - Eric Andersen

Stumbled into a backstreet

Bar just the other week

Showed my heart to a waitress there

She took a little peek

Sat down at her table

But I guess I was

A little too late

Someone here

Before you so I turned

And walked away

Holy rolling heading for the

Higher ground holy rolling

I think it's time I'm

Gonna lay it all down

I asked my fortune teller

Could you save me from this rain

I gave her rhymes and pentacles

She gave me valentines for change

I offered her my broken heart

She offered me a glass

She said trouble'll buy ya nothing

Here what else do you have

Holy rolling heading for the

Higher ground holy rolling

I think it's time I'm

Gonna lay it all down

I wandered through the streets all night

In search of another haunt

A woman in a doorway said

Is there something that you want

I followed up the back staircase

She took off her dress

Showed me to her body

But she locked up all the rest

Holy rolling heading for the

Higher ground holy rolling

I think it's time I'm

Gonna lay it all down

Holy rolling heading for the

Higher ground holy rolling

I think it's time I'm

Gonna lay it all down

Can you see the guy before you

Was he the dreamer that you knew

He's looking like a lover

But he's acting like a fool

The highway keeps on rolling

Like it's never gonna end

And love'll keep on rolling

Like a spirit in the wind

Holy rolling heading for the

Higher ground holy rolling

I think it's time I'm

Gonna lay

Time I'm gonna lay

Time I'm gonna lay it all downit all down
