Hell or High Water
by Tom Kennedy ©2003

Well the first time I touched her I was 18 years old
Like I was a miner who stumbled on gold
She taught me most everything I never knew
She's the only thing I've ever known how to do

Well I rode her, I played her, I drank her like water
If she was a fever you could say that I caught her
Put her down now and then but I never forgot her
I'd make her my lady come hell
Hell or high water
Hell or high water

Well I listened and hung to the words that she said
She hooked me, seduced me, and took me to bed
It's like I was a blind man and she was my Braille
I'm a lonesome ol' schooner and she was my sail

Well I rode her, I played her, I drank her like water
If she was a fever you could say that I caught her
Put her down now and then but I never forgot her
I'd make her my lady come hell
Hell or high water
Hell or high water

She is the one who can see
Joy in a sweet melody
She is the one who can free
The marker of my memory

Now she haunts me at nighttime when no one's around
Makin' my loneliness more than a noun
I get up and rock her 'til I fall asleep
She's the only one who never leaves
She's the only one who never leaves

Well I rode her, I played her, I drank her like water
If she was a fever you could say that I caught her
Never out of my mind, no I never forgot her
I'd make her my lady come hell
Hell or high water

I rode her, I played her, I drank her like water
If she was a fever you could say that I caught her
Put her down now and then but I never forgot her
I'd make her my lady come hell
Hell or high water

Hell or High Water

Hell or High Water
