IN THE COU
HIGH ENOUGH
WORDS AND MUSIC BY HENRY GROSS ©2006 ACHTUNES, ASCAP
EVERYBODY’S TELLING ME I’M GUILTY OF A FELONY
I TOOK SOMEBODYS MELODY AND PUT IT IN MY SONG
I ADMIT I’M LAZY AND MY MEMORY MIGHT BE HAZY
BUT I’D NEVER BE SO CRAZY
‘CAUSE I STILL KNOW RIGHT FROM WRONG
BEEN HIGH ENOUGH TO SEE OVER THE MOUNTAIN
BEEN HIGH ENOUGH TO FLY ABOVE THE RAIN
BEEN DOWN SO LOW STOLE PENNIES FROM THE FOUNTAIN
BEEN HIGH ENOUGH TO TOSS ‘EM BACK AGAIN
EVERYDAY MY HONEY SAYS MY JOKES ARE NOT SO FUNNY
AND I BETTER EARN SOME MONEY IF I WANNA GET HER LOVE
THOUGH I KNOW WHAT I’M MISSIN’, I’M A MAN ON A MISSION
GOT A STRONG INNERVISION
AND I THANK THE STARS ABOVE
CHORUS
I BELIEVE IT’S DOWN TO FATE
WHATEVER’S MEANT TO BE
WHAT I AM AND WHAT I AIN’T
IS GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME
CHORUS
BEEN HIGH ENOUGH TO FEEL I REALLY MADE IT
BEEN HIGH ENOUGH TO THROW IT ALL AWAY
HAD A WINNING HAND AND I OVERPLAYED IT
BEEN HIGH ENOUGH TO SEE IT’S ALL A GAME
BEEN HIGH ENOUGH TO KNOW IT’S JUST A GAME
RT OF THE TWO SISTERS
WORDS AND MUSIC BY HENRY GROSS ©2004 ACHTUNES, ASCAP
MET YVETTE ON A JET DOWN TO METAIRIE
SHE WAS TWEEDLE DUM I WAS TWEEDLE DEE
TOLD HER SHE’D BE THE ONLY GIRL IN THE WORLD FOR ME
MET CLAIRE AT A FAIR IN JACKSON SQUARE
TRUE BLUE EYES AND DARK BROWN HAIR
PROMISED HER THEN AND THERE WE’D ALWAYS BE A PAIR
IT NEVER CROSSED MY MIND ALL THE TIME WE DATED
BY A TWIST OF FATE THEY’D BE RELATED
IN THE COURT OF THE TWO SISTERS I’M GUILTY AS SIN
THE JURY WON’T AQUIT ME FROM THE TROUBLE I’M IN
THEY’RE DIFFERENT AS CAN BE
BUT ON ONE THING THEY AGREE
IN THE COURT OF THE TWO SISTERS I’M CONVICTED
IMAGINE MY SURPRISE WHEN THEY BOTH GOT WISE
BEING UNADVISED OF THEIR FAMILY TIES
FELT LIKE I GOT SHOT BETWEEN THE EYES
STUNNED, I SAID: “I’LL BE A SON OF A GUN”
BROTHER, LOOK WHAT MOTHER NATURE’S DONE
I HAD NO CASE, I KNEW MY RACE WAS RUN
YOU COULD SAY THEIR PATIENCE HAD BEEN TRIED
‘CAUSE MY APPEALS HAVE BEEN DENIED
REPEAT CHORUS
NOW I’LL NEVER BE ASHAMED TO ASK LAST NAMES
WHERE THEY PITCH THEIR TENTS OR FROM WHENCE THEY CAME
I LACKED ONE FACT, IT’S A CRYING SHAME
WATCHED MY GAME GO UP IN FLAMES
REPEAT CHORUS
