Baby you and me were meant for higher ground
We've got to steal away uh
I feel the wind blow on the corner
And I'm looking down along this dead end street
All the people are getting older
But they don't give a d**n their lifes are incompleate
I don't look no better than it did before
And I know what's happening behind each door
If I don't get out today I'm gonna waste my life away
That's a part that I can't play
I don't wanna spend my whole life in this town
I can feel it driving me away
Baby you and me were meant for higher ground
We've got to steal away
Uh
As a young boy I didn't fit in and I knew it then
I wouldn't be the same
That was only in the beginning and as the time rolled on deeper grew the pain
So give me one good reason why I should stay
I think I've got enough money for the late night train
There's a world you've never seen
But I've been there in my dreams
It's calling out to me
I don't wanna spend my whole life in this town
I can feel it driving me away
'Cause baby you and me were meant for higher ground
We've got to steal away
If I don't get out today I'm gonna waste my life away
And that's a part that I can't play
I don't wanna spend my whole life in this town
I can feel it driving me away
Baby you and me were meant for higher ground
We've got to steal away
I don't wanna spend my whole life in this town
I can feel it driving me away
Baby you and me were meant for higher ground
I don't wanna spend my whole life in this town
I can feel it driving me away
Baby you and me were meant for higher ground
We've got to steal away
I don't wanna spend my whole life in this town
Oh got to steal away
Baby you and me were meant for higher ground
Got to steal away
