Don't force yourself to the head of the line, if you ain't willing to lead...

lyrics

HIGHER
1996 By Jackson Slade





It’s late at night I’ve got a piece of you on my mind
Excuse me for thinkin’ about last time
You told me a story a tale I could hardly believe
And I tried not to worry about the questions you were asking of me.

(Chorus)
If I told you once it’s been a thousand times
If your lookin’ for somethin’ to be
Don’t put on an act at the head of the line unless your willin’ to lead
Us higher, higher, oh! Higher.

Took a summer in west L.A. don’t know why I forgot to stay
Who drew that line across the sky
Heard a whisper off to my right couldn’t see his face with his back to the light
But I knew right away he was lookin’ in my eye.

(Chorus)
He said, if I told you once it’s been a thousand times
If you’re lookin’ for somethin’ to be
Don’t put on an act and the head of the line unless your willin’ to lead
Us Higher, higher, oh! Higher.

(Instrumental Break)

(Bridge)

And if you bitch and moan about the shape you’re in
Can’t say much about your friends
Brother tell em ain’t it time to change your style
And try to live higher, oh! higher, so we can be higher, higher

(Tag)
take us higher, leave us higher, higher
oh! higher, take us higher, leave us higher

Jackson Slade Lewisburg, Tennessee

"Style of music is hard to give a
specific Genre to.. My Spanish roots
come to the surface in my rhythms, and
melodies to some extent. I've always
loved all styles of music, and I guess
my motivation comes from loving how,
through music, we make the world
warmer and smaller, not so vast.
I guess you could say I'm
Rock/Country/Jazz/Pop/Blues/Latin Blues and a few more things too ugly to mention" ... more
