A Higher Place - Tom Petty

We Gotta get to a higher place

And we gotta leave by night.

Before that river takes us down

We gotta find somewhe re that’s dry

We gotta run like we never run,

Or we’re gonna lose the light.

If we don’t get to a higher place and

Find somebody, can help somebody,

Might be nobody no more

We gotta get to a higher place

And I hope we all arrive together.

We gotta get to a higher place

If we wanna survive the weather

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 got my doubts

I got my eye on the waterline

Trying to keep my sense of humor

But if we don’t get to a higher place and

Find somebody, can help somebody,

Might be nobody no more

We gotta get to a higher place

And I hope we all arrive togeth er.

We gotta get to a higher place

If we wanna survive the weather

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

But if we don’t get to a higher place and

Find somebody, can help somebody,

Might be nobody no more
