High Note - Mavis Staples

Written by：Valerie June

There were all of those things you weren't supposed to do

Yes and my my my my my they were talking to you

There were all of those words that you shouldn't have said

Like a dagger thrown carry weight of lead

Living on a high note

Living on a high note

Living on a high high high high high high note

Listen now that it's lone and the wear's been shown

Guessing my my my how you have grown

Gather all of the rank and every ounce of pain

Wash the dirt and dust down the drain

It's living on a high note

Living on a high note

Living on a high high high oh high high note

It's living on a high note

Living on a high note

Living on a high high high mmm high high note

And if you gotta sing low

Sometimes the way to go

Joe Joe

He looked over at dave looked over at dave

He was thinkin' he had

He was thinkin' he was thinkin' oh he had it made

Dave Dave

Looked over at paul looked on over at paul

He was thinkin' he had he was thinkin' oh he had it all

Paul Paul

He looked over at Steve looked over at Steve

Who's steadily moving moving moving toward what he believes hey

He was living on a high note

Living on a high note

He was living on a high high high high note

He was living on a high note high note

Oh no

He was living on a high high high high note

Living on a high note

Living on a high note

He was living on a high high high high note

He was living on a high note

Living on a high note

Living on a high high high mmm high high note

I love a-living on a high note
