Higher Ground - Colby T. Helms Lyrics

Higher Ground

[Verse 1]
Once, I was the running kind, I would run these interstates, now I'm running home if you're waiting there
Once, I was the loving kind, I thought your heart would be all mine, I learned in good time that it could never be

[Pre-Chorus]
Like damson trees and honeybees
We are a dying breed

[Chorus]
I'm gonna live way up in the holler, I can't stand the city no more Working all my life trying to make a dollar, wish things were how they were before
I'm gonna sweep you off your feet, I'm gonna take you to higher ground
We can dancе the night away, we ain't gotta fool around

[Verse 2]
Thesе lowdown days, these long highways keep me feeling alone
Wish I was high and somewhat dry in my underground home
These Nashville cats in Ariat hats leave a sour taste in my mouth
Like daddy said you better keep your head and know when to shut that mouth

[Pre-Chorus]
Like damson trees, lost Southern melodies
We are a dying breed

[Verse 3]
I'm gonna live way up in the holler, I can't stand the city no more
Working all my life trying to make a dollar, wish things were how they were before
I'm gonna sweep you off your feet, I'm gonna take you to higher ground
We can dance the night away, we ain't gotta fool around

[Pre-Chorus]
Like damson trees and honeybees
We are a dying breed

[Chorus]
I'm gonna live way up in the holler, I can't stand the city no more
Working all my life trying to make a dollar, wish things were how they were before
I'm gonna sweep you off your feet, I'm gonna take you to higher ground
We can dance the night away, we ain't gotta fool around
