Higher Ground

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've 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've 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've 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 --- Higher Ground - Thunder
