The Jayhawks

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

[Incomprehensible]

And the smiles of [Incomprehensible]

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 bottle's a disgrace

Weeds and old metal wire

[Incomprehensible]

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
