Hold Back The Water
Bachman Turner Overdrive
HOLD BACK THE WATER As recorded by Bachman-Turner Overdrive (From the 1973 Album BACHMAN-TURNER OVERDRIVE) [Intro] [Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] Hold back the water I gotta find time to burn Hold back the water I gotta find time to burn [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] Hold back the water I gotta find time to burn Hold back the water (Yo!) I gotta find time to burn [Guitar Solo] [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] 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) [Guitar Solo] [Verse 4] 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 [Out-Chorus] 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
