Higher Ground - Thunder

I feel the wind blow on the corner

And I’m looking down along this dead end street

All the people are getting older

But they don’t give a damn, their lives are incomplete

It don’t look no better than it did before

And I know what’s happening behind each door

If I don’t get out today, I’m gonna waste my life away

And that’s a part that I can’t play

I don’t wanna spend my whole life in this town

I can feel it driving me away

Baby you and me were meant for higher ground

We got to steal away

As a young boy I didn’t fit in

And I knew it then, I wouldn’t be the same

But that was only in the beginning

And as the time rolled on deeper grew the pain

So give me one good reason why I should stay

I think I got enough money for the late night train

There’s a world you’ve never seen

But I’ve been there in my dreams, it’s calling out to me

I don’t wanna spend my whole life in this town

I can feel it driving me away

Baby you and me were meant for higher ground

We got to steal away

If I don’t get out today

I’m gonna waste my life away

I’m gonna waste my life away

And that’s a part that I can’t play

I don’t wanna spend my whole life in this town

I can feel it driving me away

Baby you and me were meant for higher ground

We got to steal away

I don’t wanna spend my whole life in this town

I can feel it driving me away

Baby you and me were meant for higher ground

We got to steal away

You and me, we got to steal away

Turn it on, turn it on
