Hell And Highwater

Well I was standing at the junction Trying to kill some time She was sitting high on a bar stool Drinking some cheap red wine I asked how she was doing She said she was doing fine When she asked me for a cigarette I recognised the signs Well I knew just what she wanted And I swear it wasn't love She just needed something to keep her head above Hell and highwater Try and make it through the night Hell and highwater Sometimes it's hard to keep your head above Hell and highwater Sometimes it don't feel right Hell and highwater Well the girl's just trying to keep her head above Hell and highwater A rainy night at a station In an old half way hotel The kind of place to make you feel One stop away from hell Where the angels meet the drifters Where many strong men fell I asked her if she had a name She said call me Jezebel Well I knew just what she wanted And I swear it wasn't love She just needed something to keep her head above Hell and highwater Try and make it through the night Hell and highwater Sometimes it's hard to keep your head above Hell and highwater Sometimes it don't feel right Hell and highwater Well the girl's just trying to keep her head above Hell and highwater I picked up my suitcase I was heading for the door When a voice behind with a scarlet smile Said honey you'll be back for more I knew just what she wanted And I swear it wasn't love She just needed something to keep her head above Hell and highwater Try and make it through the night Hell and highwater Sometimes it's hard to keep your head above Hell and highwater Sometimes it don't feel right Hell and highwater Well the girl's just trying to keep her head above Hell and highwater
