Elle King - High Road Lyrics

High Road Lyrics by Elle King

[Verse 1]
Was it something I said? I'm all in my head about it
I'm turning red, man, just forget about it
I ain't got no problem
I'm just out here tryna get stoned

[Verse 2]
Been here before, I swear I've seen it
But I ain't too sure, I'll just show myself the door
I ain't got no problem, man
I'm just out here tryna get stoned

[Chorus]
Guess I'm gonna have to take the high road
If that's the way it's gonna be
I'm too stoned to remember
I'm pretty sure I'm too damn drunk to see
It's hard doin' right, but, hell, what do I know?
I know it's harder than it seems
It's lonely up there on that high road
'Cause nobody gets as high as mе

[Verse 3]
What can I say? There's something funny 'bout it
I'm on my way, but I'll bе late
'Cause I stay runnin' round in circles
And I'm just tryna get home
What in the world? How did I get here?
What's all this for? Please let me sit here
I'm just tryna wrap my mind around it
Find out how to get my ass back home

[Chorus]
Guess I'm gonna have to take the high road
If that's the way it's gonna be
I'm too stoned to remember
I'm pretty sure I'm too damn drunk to see
It's hard doin' right, but, hell, what do I know?
I know it's harder than it seems
It's lonely up there on that high road
'Cause nobody gets as high as me
Walk tall, boys

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
It's high time and it's my time
To get back on that high horse
And ride him across the line
But I still can't find a friend who might

[Chorus]
I'd like to take the high road
Ain't that the way that it should be?
Gettin' too damn stoned to remember
Gettin' so damn drunk that you can't see, man
It's hard doin' right, but, hell, I sure should know
It's a lot harder than it seems
It's lonely up there on that high road
Won't someone please get high with me?
