Hell And Highwater

Joe Cocker

Well I was standing at the junction 
Trying to kill some time 
She was sitting high on a bar stool 
Drinking some cheap red wine 
I asked how she was doing 
She said she was doing fine 
When she asked me for a cigarette 
I recognised the signs 

Well I knew just what she wanted 
And I swear it wasn't love 
She just needed something to keep her head above 
Hell and highwater 

Try and make it through the night 
Hell and highwater 
Sometimes it's hard to keep your head above 
Hell and highwater 
Sometimes it don't feel right 
Hell and highwater 
Well the girl's just trying to keep her head above 
Hell and highwater 

A rainy night at a station 
In an old half way hotel 
The kind of place to make you feel 
One stop away from hell 
Where the angels meet the drifters 
Where many strong men fell 
I asked her if she had a name 
She said call me Jezebel 

Well I knew just what she wanted 
And I swear it wasn't love 
She just needed something to keep her head above 
Hell and highwater 

Try and make it through the night 
Hell and highwater 
Sometimes it's hard to keep your head above 
Hell and highwater 
Sometimes it don't feel right 
Hell and highwater 
Well the girl's just trying to keep her head above 
Hell and highwater 

I picked up my suitcase 
I was heading for the door 
When a voice behind with a scarlet smile 
Said honey you'll be back for more 

I knew just what she wanted 
And I swear it wasn't love 
She just needed something to keep her head above 

Hell and highwater 

Try and make it through the night 
Hell and highwater 
Sometimes it's hard to keep your head above 
Hell and highwater 
Sometimes it don't feel right 
Hell and highwater 
Well the girl's just trying to keep her head above 
Hell and highwater
