And you know she's gonna make it come hell or high wa-ater

Scramble to the top no matter what they tau-aught her

Burnin' all her bridges, come hell or high wa-ater

Scramble to the top no matter what they tau-aught her, mmm



When baby ran out of promises, she got red-eyed and tried to sleep

She used to sneak out back, down to the track

And run like a dog on the stree-eet

And her and me, we'd just shoot the breeze

Scramble to the top no matter what they tau-aught her

Burnin' all her bridges, come hell or high wa-ater

Scramble to the top no matter what they taught her, oh...



Come hell or high water, he'l
