Blackberry Smoke - Too High 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 me what do I get

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

But that mountain is too high for me to climb
The river is too deep and it's too wide, wide
Out of sight, out of mind, I get this way from time to time
But right now it's too high for me to climb,
Oh it's a little too high

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

But that mountain is too high for me to climb
The river is too deep and it's too wide, wide
You get yours, I'll get mine
I ain't in no hurry, got plenty of time
Right now it's too high for me to climb, oh it's a little too high

That mountain is too high for me to climb
The river is too deep and it's too wide, wide
Out of sight, out of mind, I get this way from time to time
But right now it's too high for me to climb
Looks like it's too high for me to climb
Right now it's too high for me to climb
Oh it's a little too high

    Have noticed a lot of comments from different languages for these guys! Music is good no matter where you are from. One of these days we will be able to enjoy music without all of the political B.S. that seems to separate people today. Good music is "good music". Forget all the political B.S. , enjoy the ride!!! Lynyrd Skynyrd, you were good but take a back seat to these guys!!

    I was at the gipsy market ..and found a t-shirt with Black Berry Smoke - To High..First I didnt know it was a band 'till I searched on internet :)) this is how I discovered You guys and fell in love with your music !!! GREETINGS FROM ROMANIA !!! :)

  49. C.... M....

    Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Allman Brothers and ZZ Top were probably the only southern rock bands that were actual good songwriters. All the other bands are just compitent imitators treding water with occasional glimpses of glory in the southern rock genre

  50. F.... C....

    👍👍👍👍👏👏👏💯💯💯✌✌✌✌

  51. M.... D....

    Love this ❤

  52. C.... S....

    Kinda reminds me of Black Crows only better. I like the more country feel to it. Crows can go overboard on the hippie dippie crap once in awhile.

  53. D.... H....

    Yup i like this band and i like this song.
    🤘😎👍

  54. E.... T....

    Love it

  55. M.... D....

  57. R.... M....

    I was so lucky to have been tuned into this band like right out of the 70,s no disappointment here

  58. R.... M....

    I was so lucky to have been tuned into this band like right out of the 70,s no disappointment here

  59. R.... M....

    I was so lucky to have been tuned into this band like right out of the 70,s no disappointment here

  60. B.... W....

    They are Sundy's best with talent.

  61. i.... b....

    IMHO they're more popular than ppl think. They're playing Bridgestone Arena in Nashville this spring & are a sure shot to sell it out. Kind of a "cult" following since there's no more true rock or s rock anymore. They are definitely filling a need. Keep on keepin' on BS!!

  62. m.... n....

    Great tune!

  63. R.... M....

    Great song :-)

  64. R.... T....

    Like the ol saying where there's smoke there's fire and these boys are definitely on FIRE!!! Rock on BBS!!! They do no song wrong the way music shud be right down to the common folk!!!!! Best above the rest in this era of music!!!

    My fav :) seeing them in six days with Aaron Lewis

  67. T.... B....

    Excellent Song.......................

  68. E.... H....

    First time hearing you guys was this morning. That is the reward for rising before the sun does. You are one fine band. A refreshing look at Southern Rock. Redefining it actually. Well done and thanks for the music. I'm 67, been playing drums since I was 9 and am so appreciative of straight ahead, proper simple music. You play that way for sure. And this just shows that it is possible to teach an old dog new tricks. Blessings, Ed<><

  77. R.... R....

    True music....perfect

  78. b.... b....

    Uh,why am I hearing auto tune?This sounds like pop country from Nashville
    For a real Southern band try Drivin'N'Cryin'...

  79. B.... W....

    These guys are at the top of my 'must see live' list! Real music at it's finest!

  80. C.... R....

    They could have easily been as big as lynard skynard if not more

  81. W.... H....

    This video is very cool. The guy in the woods is very clearly cooking meth, plus I'm 99% sure Charlie says "pills and meth kiss of death 💀 pawnshop slip is all I got left". I'd refer that to using til you pawned all you're stuff and that receipt is all you got to show for it. Beyond that. Too high could be double meaning referring to drugs and also the feeling of being knocked to rock bottom and everything from that point of view is just too high of a barrier to overcome. My best. Anyone???

  82. a.... k....

    seen them at soaring eagle in mt. pleasant Michigan...they opened the show for zz top and seen them on the casino floor afterwards what a bunch of down to earth good ole boys, was able to walk up to them and they talked like we were family!! hope to keep on hearing them make new music

  83. B.... B....

    keep it 100

  84. M.... p....

    I know no one will believe me but I used to work for the sister of the guitar olayer

  85. R.... G....

    Honored to have seen them play several years ago at a place in TN called Cotton eyed Joe's. It was the most awesome stage performance, and they sounded amazing live. Afterwards, I met a few band members, including Charlie, shook his hand and told him how awesome the music sounded.

  86. J.... P....

    Love it

  87. d.... c....

    Merci les Blackberry Smoke de m'avoir accepté chez vous ! Merci, de la part d'un fan de Natchez !

  88. N.... N....

    Yes...
    The land is to be emptied out from the folks who think they own it (ha ha hillbillies)*

    For anyone who cares about history, this is not the first (or second) time the powers that be (and have been) have pushed the people off the land, and into crowded cities (read: concentration camps).
    You better believe it folks... Orwell and Huxley warned us.

    * I love hillbillies BTW. Wherever you go in the world, it behooves you to befriend a hillbilly that is familiar with the area. What you learn from him or her (of course there's "Shillbillies") could save your life - and will certainly make you more appreciative of your natural surroundings.

    N.... N....

    Do you really know what the term -hillbilly- means ..p The Appalachian Mountains were settled in the 18th century by settlers primarily from the Province of Ulster in Ireland. The settlers from Ulster were mainly Protestants who migrated to Ireland, during the Plantation of Ulster in the 17th century, from Scotland and Northern England. Many further migrated to the American colonies beginning in the 1730s, and in America became known as the Scotch-Irish.[5]

    Scholars argue that the term "hillbilly" originated from Scottish dialect. The term "hill-folk" referred to people who preferred isolation from the greater society, and "billy" meant "comrade" or "companion." It is suggested that "hill-folk" and "billie" were combined when the Cameronians fled to the Scottish Highlands.[6]

    Others have suggested the term originated in 17th century Ireland, during the Williamite War, when Protestant supporters of King William III ("King Billy") were often referred to as "Billy's Boys."[7] However, some scholars disagree with this theory. Michael Montgomery's From Ulster to America: The Scotch-Irish Heritage of American English states, "In Ulster in recent years it has sometimes been supposed that it was coined to refer to followers of King William III and brought to America by early Ulster emigrants, but this derivation is almost certainly incorrect. … In America hillbilly was first attested only in 1898, which suggests a later, independent development."[5]

    N.... N....

    There is a word for hillbilly in the language of every country that has mountains.

  89. E.... N....

    alguien con mentalidad de latino es fan del Southern Rock?

    E.... N....
