707: Hell or high water [lyrics]

707

Hell or high water

He's a real hot looker

With a smoke slung off his lip

When he walks on by

He'll look you square in the eye

Got both hands on his hips

Motor city bad boy

Took hard knocks all his life

Now he's got a grudge

Don't need no judge

To tell him what's wrong and what's right

He said

CHORUS

Coming through, hell or high water

Straight for you, hell or high water

Got this girl named Rita

And with her you best not flirt

'Cause if he gets wind

It's over my friend

And you'll be kissin' that good earth

Slicked back, rough and ready

Street wise, all he knew

Came that final day, they took him away

Talking 'bout the men in blue

They said

CHORUS

Five long years he waited

To get out of that steel room

When they set him free

He said good-bye cool breeze

I'll see you again real soon

So listen closely tough boys

If you think you've got it licked

Better play by the rules

And not with the fools

I hope that this message will stick

They might

CHORUS
