High Note Lyrics - Livin' On A High Note - Mavis Staples

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 

Livin' on a high note 

Livin' on a high note 

Livin' 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 livin' on a high note 

Livin' on a high note 

Livin' on a high, high, high, oh, high, high note 

It's livin' on a high note 

Livin' on a high note 

Livin' on a high, high, high, mmm, high, high note
