The High Road lyrics

I woke with a hunger

For what I can’t say

I slept through the night

But all was not right

When I met the new day

One drink from the river

And you will forget

That if you want to live

You’ve got to forgive

But I’m not there yet

I heard that the high road

Is the road I should take

To be like the branches

That bend but don’t break

I wanna take the high road

But I’ve lost the map

And my life on the low road

Always drags me back

I’m not playing the victim

Well so what if I am

If he fell down the well

Would I wish him well

Would I givе a damn

I’ve dug in my heels

I’ve stiffenеd my back

What would Jesus do

And other sages too

Probably not that

Been told that the high road

Is a much better trip

If you heed the directions

And follow the script

Now I’m here at the crossroads

Don’t know which way to go

My heart wants the high road

But my head wants the low

I know it’s the high road

That will set me free

It’s the road that’ll get me

Where I want to be

So if you take the high road

I say don’t ever leave

You don’t wanna take the low road

Take it from me
