Songtext von Higher Ground

I had an uncle big as life he called me Captain He believed he played a part in God's plan He drove a Hudson Hornet car and a John Deere tractor Safe in the sweaty palm of God's hand I can still hear Georgia singin' through the kitchen window One farm over Johnny joined up with Uncle Sam Daddy done sold the farm wants to move out to Vegas Johnny never made it back from Vietnam They say you can't go home again but every now and then You gotta look back to where you've been Cause we're all part of the circle that's spinnin' round Lord lift me up plant my feet on higher ground [ steel - fiddle ] Black Bear Creek runs down through Pawnee County Where your roots hold you tight like a rusty cage My mama say you better be careful boy what you wish for God has a funny way of turnin' the page They say you can't go home again... Yeah we're all part of the circle spinnin' round round and round Lord lift me up plant my feet on higher ground Lord lift me up plant my feet on higher ground
