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



(Chorus)

[But] 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



(Chorus)



We gotta get to a higher place

And I hope we all arrive togheter

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



(Chorus
