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 some place that's dry 
We gotta run like we've 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 

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 

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 together 
We gotta get to a higher place 
If we want to 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
