Hold Back The Water Lyrics - Live At The Roseland Ballroom, Nyc - Bachman & Turner

Headed 'cross the border 

Looking for a place to play 

I left the sun behind 

I don't mind 

But I think that it looked like rain 

Hold back the water 

I gotta find time to burn 

Hold back the water 

I gotta find time to burn 

Headed west to Georgia 

Looking for the road to L.A. 

They say the weather's fine 

But the sun don't shine 

'Cause the smog's always in the way 

Hold back the water 

I gotta find time to burn 

Hold back the water (Yo!) 

I gotta find time to burn 

I've never played no smoker 

You know I've never played no hotdog 

The preacher say 

I was born this way 

With storm cloud in my heart 

Hold back the water 

I gotta find time to burn 

Hold back the water 

I gotta find time to burn 

I gotta find time to burn 

I gotta find time to burn 

I gotta find time to burn (Whooo) 

Headed 'cross the border 

Looking for a place to play 

I left the sun behind 

I don't mind 

But I think that it looked like rain 

Hold back the water 

I gotta find time to burn 

Hold back the water (Yo!) 

I gotta find time to burn 

I gotta find time to burn 

I gotta find time to burn 

I gotta find time to burn 

Hold back the water (Hey!) 

I gotta find time to burn
