Songwriter: Tom Petty

Producer: Rick Rubin Tom Petty Mike W. Campbell

[Verse 1]
We gotta get to a higher place
And we gotta leave by night
Before that river takes us down
We gotta find somewhere that's dry
We gotta run like we've never run
Or we're gonna lose the light

[Chorus]
If we don't get to a higher place
And find somebody who can help somebody
Might be nobody no more

[Verse 2]
Well, I fool myself and I don't know why
I thought we could ride this out
I was up all night making up my mind
But now I've got my doubts
I got my eye on the waterline
Trying to keep my sense of humor

[Chorus]
But if we don't get to a higher place
And find somebody who can help somebody
Might be nobody no more

[Bridge]
We gotta get to a higher place
And I hope we all arrive together
We gotta get to a higher place
If we want to survive the weather

[Verse 3]
I remember walking with her in town
Her hair was in the wind
I gave her my best kiss
She gave it back again
When I add up what I've left behind
I don't want to lose no more

[Chorus]
If we don't get to a higher place
And find somebody who can help somebody
Might be nobody no more

Tom Petty

Thomas Earl “Tom” Petty (October 20, 1950 – October 2, 2017) was an American singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. He was the frontman of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers and was a founding member of the late 1980s supergroup The Traveling Wilburys and Mudcrutch.

He has recorded a number of hit singles with the Heartbreakers and as a solo artist, many of which remain heavily played on adult contemporary and classic rock radio. His music, and notably his hits, have become popular among younger generations as he continued to host sold-out shows right up until his death at the age of 66. Throughout his career, Petty and his collaborators have sold 60 million albums. In 2002, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
