Thistle
I was headin' up the mountain when the dam came down
I was running down the mountain when the dam come down
Up yonder on the levy they knew the levy would hold
Up yonder on the levy I knew the levy would fold
They'll be running to escape
They'll be running for their freedom
Trying real hard to save their minds
From devils and anger
Living and dying for a dream
Living and dying for a dream
Living and dying for a dream
When they saw the water rising, they prayed the levy would hold
When they saw the water crashing, they knew they'd have to be bold
(got to be, oh you got to be bold)
Said don't you grab no baby, swim before you die
(don't you die, oh no lord don't you die)
No don't you grab your baby
You can live or both of you die
They'll be running to escape
They'll be running for their freedom
Trying real hard to save their minds
From devils and anger
Living and dying for a dream
Living and dying for a dream
Living and dying for a dream
They'll be running to escape
They'll be running for their freedom
Trying real hard to save their minds
From devils and anger
Living and dying for a dream
Living and dying for a dream
Living and dying for a dream
I was running down the mountain when the dam come down
Up yonder on the levy they knew the levy would hold
Up yonder on the levy I knew the levy would fold
They'll be running to escape
They'll be running for their freedom
Trying real hard to save their minds
From devils and anger
Living and dying for a dream
Living and dying for a dream
Living and dying for a dream
When they saw the water rising, they prayed the levy would hold
When they saw the water crashing, they knew they'd have to be bold
(got to be, oh you got to be bold)
Said don't you grab no baby, swim before you die
(don't you die, oh no lord don't you die)
No don't you grab your baby
You can live or both of you die
They'll be running to escape
They'll be running for their freedom
Trying real hard to save their minds
From devils and anger
Living and dying for a dream
Living and dying for a dream
Living and dying for a dream
They'll be running to escape
They'll be running for their freedom
Trying real hard to save their minds
From devils and anger
Living and dying for a dream
Living and dying for a dream
Living and dying for a dream
