Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers — A Higher Place

[Verse 1] We got to get to a higher place And we got to leave by night Before that river takes us down We got to find some place that's dry We got to run like we've never run Or we're going to lose the light [Chorus] If we don't get to a higher place and find somebody Can help somebody, might be nobody no more [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] [Bridge] We got to get to a higher place And I hope we all arrive together We got to get to a higher place If we want to survive the weather [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus]
