Betty Wright
The High Road
[Intro]
Oh-ho

[Verse 1]
We're bound to wait all night
She's bound to run amok
Invested enough in it anyhow
To each his own
The garden needs sortin' out
She curls her lips on the bow
And I don't know if I'm dead or not
To anyone

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Come on and get the minimum
Before you open up your eyes
This army has so many heads
To analyze
Come on and get your overdose
Collect it at the borderline
And they want to get up in your head

[Chorus]
'Cause they know and so do I
The high road is hard to find
A detour in your new life
Tell all of your friends goodbye
[Verse 2]
The dawn to end all nights
That's all we hoped it was
A break from the warfare in your house
To each his own
A soldier is bailing out
And curled his lips on the barrel
And I don't know if the dead can talk
To anyone

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Come on and get your minimum
Before you open up your eyes
This army has so many hands
Are you one of us?
Come on and get your overdose
Collect it at the borderline
And they want to get up in your head, in you head, in your head

[Chorus]
'Cause they know and so do I (So do I)
The high road is hard to find (Is hard to find, oh)
A detour in your new life (Oh, ooh-oh, oh, yeah)
Tell all of your friends goodbye

[Post-Chorus]
To all your friends goodbye
Tell 'em goodbye
Tell 'em goodbye
Tell 'em, tell 'em, tell 'em now
Tell them goodbye
Hey
[Outro]
It's too late to change your mind
You let loss be your guide
It's too late to change your mind
You know it's too late, it is
It's too late to change your mind
You let loss be your guide
It's too late to change your mind, yeah
It's too late to change your mind
You let loss be your guide
It's too late to change your mind
You let loss be your guide
It's too late (Too late)
Too damn late, baby (Too late)
To go and change your mind now (Too late, it's too late)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Too late to change your mind
It's too late to change your mind
