Hold Your Head High - Heartless Bastards ***Played in bars, throughout the song Erika pulls-off and hammers-on the low E string with her first finger*** I made a lot of choices most have not been wise But I have some really good friends I’ve been fortunate to find They get me through the lonely days when I want to stay inside myself They get me out of my shell out into the world I am coming back I’m coming back again I had lost everything and then I got it back again I dug myself so deep, deep into a hole That getting out was so far beyond my control In the past I’ve always had trouble on my mind I’m gonna take that feeling and leave it far behind As I go down this path traveling through my fate Lately I have begun to awake It started out in Jackson and we moved across the land And all the dehydration turned soil into sand And then one day they hauled me away And I was out there, out on my own The thieves they came and went They took everything in site And then we got it back again Oh I had to fight And now then I woke up from the middle of the strangest dream And everyone was there that I ever knew and they all began to sing Hold your head high just as high as you can Things will work out soon things will come round again You see I’ve got this fascination with all the wrong ways to go I get lost even in the places that I know Hold your head high just as high as you can Things will work out soon things will come round again ooh Hold your head high just as high as you can Things will work out soon things will come round again
