“Hope The High Road” Lyrics

I used to think that this was my town
What a stupid think to think
I hear you’re fighting off a breakdown
I myself am on the brink

I used to wanna be a real man
I don’t know what that even means
Now I just want you in my arms again
And we can search each others dream

I know you’re tired and you ain’t sleeping well
Uninspired and likely mad as hell
But wherever you are I hope the high road leads you home again

I’ve heard enough of the white man’s blues
I’ve sang enough about myself
So if you’re looking for some bad news
You can find it somewhere else
Last year was a son of a bitch for nearly everyone we know
But I ain’t fighting with you down in the ditch
I’ll meet you up here on the road

I know you’re tired and you ain’t sleeping well
Uninspired and likely mad as hell
But wherever you are I hope the high road leads you home again
To the world you want to live in

We’ll ride this ship down dumping buckets overboard
There can’t be more of them than us
There can’t be more

I know you’re tired and you ain’t sleeping well
Uninspired and likely mad as hell
But wherever you are I hope the high road leads you home again
To a world you want to live in
