High Water - Uncle Tupelo

Falling out the window

Tripping on a wrinkle in the rug

Falling out of love, dear

It hurt much worse when you gave up

Just don’t tell me which way I oughta run

Or what good I could do anyone

'Cause my heart, it was a gun

But it’s unloaded now so don’t bother

Climbing up the ladder

Breaking my shin on the very first rung

Waking up the neighbors

It’s all right, they understand they’re just as dumb

And they don’t tell me which way I oughta run

Or what good I could do anyone

'Cause my heart, it was a gun

But it’s unloaded now, so don’t bother me now, don’t bother

Crawling back to you now

I sold my guitar to the girl next door

She asked me if I knew how

I told her «I don’t think so anymore»

Don’t tell me which way I oughta run

What good could I do anyone

'Cause my heart, it was a gun

But it’s unloaded now so don’t bother
