Lyrics:


High water risin', risin' night and day
All the gold and silver are being stolen away
Big Joe Turner lookin' East and West
From the dark room of his mind
He made it to Kansas City
Twelfth Street and Vine
Nothing standing there
High water everywhere

High water risin', the shacks are slidin' down
Folks lose their possessions and folks are leaving town
Bertha Mason shook, it broke it
Then she hung it on a wall
Says, "You're dancin' with whom they tell you to
Or you don't dance at all"
It's tough out there
High water everywhere

I got a cravin' love for blazing speed got a hopped up Mustang Ford
Jump into the wagon, love, throw your panties overboard
I can write you poems, make a strong man lose his mind
I'm no pig without a wig
I hope you treat me kind
Things are breakin' up out there
High water everywhere

High water risin', six inches 'bove my head
Coffins droppin' in the street
Like balloons made out of lead
Water pourin' into Vicksburg, don't know what I'm going to do
"Don't reach out for me, " she said
"Can't you see I'm drownin' too?"
It's rough out there
High water everywhere

Well, George Lewis told the Englishman, the Italian and the Jew
"You can't open your mind, boys
To every conceivable point of view"
They got Charles Darwin trapped out there on Highway Five
Judge says to the High Sheriff
"I want him dead or alive
Either one, I don't care"
High Water everywhere

Well, the cuckoo is a pretty bird, she warbles as she flies
I'm preachin' the word of God
I'm puttin' out your eyes
I asked Fat Nancy for something to eat, she said, "Take it off the shelf
As great as you are a man,
You'll never be greater than yourself"
I told her I didn't really care
High water everywhere

I'm getting' up in the morning I believe I'll dust my broom
Keeping away from the women
I'm givin' 'em lots of room
Thunder rolling over Clarksdale, everything is looking blue
I just can't be happy, love
Unless you're happy too
It's bad out there
High water everywhere

Who's Gonna Drive You Home Tonight?

Stevie Ray Vaughan
"Life Without You"




Oo oo now baby... tell me how have you been
We all have missed you... and the way you grin
The day is necessary... every now and then
For souls to move on... givin' life back again, and again
Fly on fly on....fly on my friend
Go on... live again... love again

Day after day... night after night
Sittin' here singin' every minute... as the years go passing by... by, by, by

Long look in the mirror... we've come face to face
Wishin' all the love we took for granted... love we have today

Life without you... all the love you passed my way
The angels have waited for so long... now they have their way
Take your place...

Songwriters: Stevie Ray Vaughan

Long Way Home Lyrics

Ramblin' boy you been around
From Dallas to the underground
High above and down below
Places I was scared to go

You sang it loud in case they heard
Hangin' on to every word
Gentle as a lullaby
Firecrackers in your eyes

CHORUS:
And I would give anything
For one more night to run
For one last song to sing

You weren't askin' much at all
Just catch you when you fall
On your own, the long way home

What's that sadness in your smile
You've been cryin' all the while
Could you lean upon my shoulder
I guess you'd die to just get older

So what are we supposed to do
Just walk around forever blue
And all this hurry up and wait
Was it chance or was it fate?


CHORUS

You weren't askin' much at all
Just catch you when you fall
On your own, the long way home
