Blackberry Smoke - A Little To High

Charlie Starr grew up in eastern Alabama, in a small town bordered by the Chattahoochee River and dotted with textile factories. Like most American mill towns, it took a hit during the dawn of the 21st century, when companies began shipping most of their work overseas. Some residents bounced back by landing new jobs. Others turned to their vices instead, looking for a more temporary fix.
“The song has to do with whatever plague is sucking a little town dry,” he says, “whether it’s the meth epidemic or oxy. That kind of thing happens all over America, but it just seems to impact the small towns more. I used to go home to the little town where I grew up, and I’d see people that I went to school with, and I’d think, ‘Oh boy.’ You can see it a mile away, the damage that stuff can do.”

Lyrics:
Every day ain't my day
Easy street don't run my way
Cross my heart and hope to spit
The gettin's good tell ma what do I get

Fool me once fooled you twice
By myself, paradise
Ring my bell, time will tell
Someday soon I'm gonna give em' hell

That mountain is too high for me to climb
The river is too deep and it's too wide
Outta sight outta mind
I get this way from time to time
Right now it's too high for me to climb

Fill my cup wish me luck
Turn my frown right side up
Pills and meth kiss of death
Pawn shop slip is all I've got left

That mountain is too high for me to climb
The river is too deep and it's too wide
You get yours I'll get mine
Ain't no hurry got plenty of time
Right now it's too high for me to climb
