This old world it ain't my home
Nice place to visit, but you wouldn't stay
A few more risings and settings of the sun
I will cross my legs and be on my way

You can look up to me baby
And I might see you looking down
'Cause there ain't no higher ground
There ain't no higher ground

[?]

Listen baby you ain't my friend even though we
Float together down this raging flood
You could rip your dress
and add fuel to the fire but you can't
Take the smoke out of these dirty lawns

It might be heaven up above
But even if it could be fun
There ain't no higher ground
There ain't no higher ground
There ain't no higher ground
There ain't no higher ground
