"High Ground" lyrics

Hey bubba pass me that joint
Bartender pour me Jim Beam
Somebody play me George Jones
On that music machine
I feel a storm rollin' in
And they're calling for pain
It's just a matter of time
Before it sweeps me away

I gotta get to high ground
A little up for my low low down
I gotta get sideways before that levee breaks
Or this ol' boy's gonna drown
I gotta get to high ground
If my ship's ever gonna come in
You know I gotta get to high ground
Before her memory comes floodin' in

She hung me up high and dry
Like an old raincoat
She went and ran off with him
And put me out like a smoke
Now I'm stranded at this bar
A corner booth castaway
She's spinning round in my head
That's why they call it a hurricane

I gotta get to high ground
A little up for my low low down
I gotta get sideways before that levee breaks
Or this ol' boy's gonna drown
I gotta get to high ground
If my ship's ever gonna come in
Yes, I gotta get to high ground
Before her memory comes floodin' in

I gotta get to high ground
A little up for my low low down
I gotta get sideways before that levee breaks
Or this ol' boy's gonna drown
I gotta get to high ground
If my ship's ever gonna come in
Yes, I gotta get to high ground
Before her memory comes floodin' in
Yes, I gotta get to high ground
Before her memory comes floodin' in
