We gotta get to a higher placeAnd we gotta leave by nightBefore that river takes us downWe gotta find somewhere that’s dryWe gotta run like we’ve never runOr we’re gonna lose the light

If we don’t get to a higher placeAnd find somebody who can help somebodyMight be nobody no more

Well, I fool myself and I don’t know whyI thought we could ride this outI was up all night making up my mindBut now I’ve got my doubtsI got my eye on the waterlineTrying to keep my sense of humor

But if we don’t get to a higher placeAnd find somebody who can help somebodyMight be nobody no more

We gotta get to a higher placeAnd I hope we all arrive togetherWe gotta get to a higher placeIf we want to survive the weather

I remember walking with her in townHer hair was in the windI gave her my best kissShe gave it back againWhen I add up what I’ve left behindI don’t want to lose no more

If we don’t get to a higher placeAnd find somebody who can help somebodyMight be nobody no more
