Hell or High Water

Come hell or high water
The former asked the latter
Oh how it starts
The sun makes it surrender
That's when we make our move across the earth
So I pull myself together
I threw my finest shoes inside my car
The mark I left on this world
Was cigarette butts thrown across the floor
The mark I left upon the world
Was cigarette butts thrown across the floor

I cut my teeth on rock and roll
Down silver streets and avenues of gold
The boys we know of Illinois
Your voices are still ringing in my ears
The vultures have descended on
The undefended powders on the mirror
I will follow you
I will follow you
I will follow you
Wherever you will go

All I can say in defense
Is maybe we should have taken the chance
I guess you were right

Gimme gimme gimme gimme some more
Of those household drugs that we can afford
The boys and girls relentlessly
Are screaming from their lungs, they go
Gimme gimme gimme gimme some more
Of those household drugs that we can afford
The boys and girls relentlessly
Make beeline exits for the streets
For the company of the ones we keep

All I can say in defense
Is maybe we should have taken the chance
I guess you were right
All that we can defend lately
All that I can change with the wind
Maybe it's time
Maybe it's time
Maybe it's time
Maybe it's time
