High Steppin' Lyrics - Avett Brothers

I'm a-high steppin', high bettin' 

Love givin', I'm a-love gettin' 

I'm a stranger, I love stretchin' out my wheels 

Overnightin' on the desert strip 

Makin' time and losin' grip 

Drivin' circles in the canyons of my mind 

I'm an outsider lookin' in 

I got a perfect square for a circle of friends 

It's the four of us against the rest of you 

But really I am all alone 

I'd sell 'em out to save my own 

I told them that but they don't buy the truth 

I'm a-high steppin', high bettin' 

Love givin', I'm a-love gettin' 

I'm a stranger, I love stretchin' out my wheels 

Overnightin' on the desert strip 

Makin' time and losin' grip 

Drivin' circles in the canyons of my mind

Well it's warfare out there, folks 

You're either working for success 

Or to be rich or, God help us, famous 

Or you're working against the clock just to stay afloat 

Got your nose all scraped up from the grindstone 

You're digging for diamonds and only finding rhinestones 

Meanwhile it's August and the tax 

man has never heard of summer vacation 

You're either working on yourself or you're lookin' after babies 

Takin' care of your old man or your old lady 

And the direct line to the hospital just says "Leave a message" 

See, you can only live one day at a time 

Only drive one hot rod at a time 

Only say one word at a time 

And only think one thought at a time 

And every soul is alone when the day becomes night 

And there in the dark if you can try to see the light 

In the most pitch black shape of the loneliest shadow 

Well then you ought to sleep well 

'Cause there's hope for sure 

Well I don't know about all that being true but 

I do know this 

Photos 

The best beggars are choosers 

The best winners are losers 

The best lovers ain't never been loved 

And first place ain't easy 

The hard part is believing 

The very last word is love 

I'm a-high steppin', high bettin' 

Love givin', I'm a-love gettin' 

I'm a stranger, I love stretchin' out my wheels 

Overnightin' on the desert strip 

Makin' time and losin' grip 

Drivin' circles in the canyons of my mind
