Hold Back the Water Songtext
von Bachman–Turner Overdrive

Headed ′cross the border
Lookin' for a place to play
I left the sun behind
I don′t mind
But I think that it look like rain

Hold back the water
I gotta find time to burn
Hold back the water
I gotta find time to burn

Headed west to Georgia
Lookin' for the road to L.A
They say the weather's fine
And the sun always shines
But I think that it look like rain


Hold back the water
I gotta find time to burn
Hold back the water
I gotta find time to burn

I never played no trumpet
You know I never played no harp, no, no
The preacher say I was born this way
With a storm cloud in my heart

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
Hold back the water
I gotta find time to burn
