High Water Blues

On a nice spring day
I found a cage in the yard
It was just that way
I found a cage in the yard
I was thinking back about all the times
I was stuck in the basement with the booze on my mind
I was thinking back about all the times
I was stuck in the basement with the booze on my mind
High water, high water
High water blues
High water, high water
High water blues
It was in locks and chains
And the smiles of tar
All the keys that I made
Never fit in the car
I was reeling and I couldn’t be found
Like the hammer hits a nail I was bent upside down
I was reeling and I couldn’t be found
Like the hammer hits a nail I was bent upside down
High water, high water
High water blues
High water, high water
High water blues
Take it on the chin
Take it on the chin
Take it on the chin
Take it on the chin
Take it on the chin
Take it on the chin
Take it on the chin
Take it on the chin
Broken bottles of disgrace
Weeds and old metal wire
I used an old black tire
All my pictures were locked up in a trunk
When the water came up, it was just my bad luck
All my pictures were locked up in a trunk
When the water came up, it was just my bad luck
High water, high water
High water blues
High water, high water
High water blues
Take it on the chin
Take it on the chin
Take it on the chin
Take it on the chin
Take it on the chin
Take it on the chin
Take it on the chin
Take it on the chin
