A Higher Place (Alternate Version)

Should we try it?
A-one, a-two
One, two

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
Yeah, we gotta run like we've never run
Or we're gonna lose the light

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 been up all night making up my mind
But now I've got my doubts
Well, I got one eye on the waterline
Trying to keep my sense of humor

But if we don't get to a higher place and find somebody
Can help somebody, might be nobody no more

We gotta get to a higher place
And I hope we all arrive together
We gotta get to a higher place
If we wanna 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
Well, when I add up what I've left behind
I don't wanna lose no more

But if we don't get to a higher place and find somebody
Can help somebody, might be nobody no more

Real good
That was great
Real good
