Lyrics Higher Ground - Jackie Lomax

Higher Ground

You say that you need a holiday
But it’s Saturday — anyway
You say that you need more money
A Playboy Bunny
Couldn’t spend more money, honey
It’s such a crime to bring each other down
It’s time for me to head for higher ground
Above the water line…
You say that you’re feeling restless
Edgy, even helpless
I can’t help your feelings
It’s so revealing
What you say with your feelings
It’s such a crime to bring each other down
It’s time for me to head for higher ground
Above the water line…
I’m gonna head for the mountains
Set my sights higher
I’m gonna be over the horizon
Before you look for me
You say that you need more time
To turn it over in your mind
You’ve had time enough
Ain’t got to cry
Don’t cause a fuss
It’s such a crime to bring each other down
It’s time for me to head for higher ground
Above the water line…
