Come Hell Or High Water
Poison · Flesh & Blood
I've got no worries
I've got no regrets
Who they think they're kidding
They ain't seen nothin' yet
You point your finger try to tell me I'm wrong
That never stopped me from singing my song
I got the last laugh at the things they do
Eliminate them at the turn of a screw
Pre-Chorus:
I never lived by nobody's rules
I won't be sinking on their ship of fools
Can't push me no matter how hard they try
Stand back this is my turn to fly
Chorus:
Come Hell, Hell or High water
Ain't nothin' going to hold me down
Come Hell, Hell Or High Water
Ain't nobody messin' me around
I see their wicked ways
And miles of endless lies
I see their jaded lives couldn't erase my smile
But what's this shit that I've just heard
Son of a bitch you're working on my nerves
I'll watch you choke on your last words
It's about time you get what you deserve
Pre-Chorus:
I never lived by nobody's rules
I won't be sinking on their ship of fools
Can't push me no matter how hard they try
Stand back this is my turn to fly
Chorus:
Come Hell, Hell or High water
Ain't nothin' going to hold me down
Come Hell, Hell Or High Water
Ain't nobody messin' me around
I've got something that's been on my mind
Come close I'll tell you the problem I find
I'm sick and tired of damage you've done
Don't blame me I ain't the one
Blame yourself for the ghosts in your past
And kiss my ass
Solo
Chorus:
Come Hell, Hell or High water
Ain't nothin' going to hold me down
Come Hell, Hell Or High Water
Ain't nobody messin' me around
Come Hell, Hell or High water
Ain't nothin' going to hold me down
Come Hell, Hell Or High Water
Ain't nobody messin' me around
I've got no regrets
Who they think they're kidding
They ain't seen nothin' yet
You point your finger try to tell me I'm wrong
That never stopped me from singing my song
I got the last laugh at the things they do
Eliminate them at the turn of a screw
Pre-Chorus:
I never lived by nobody's rules
I won't be sinking on their ship of fools
Can't push me no matter how hard they try
Stand back this is my turn to fly
Chorus:
Come Hell, Hell or High water
Ain't nothin' going to hold me down
Come Hell, Hell Or High Water
Ain't nobody messin' me around
I see their wicked ways
And miles of endless lies
I see their jaded lives couldn't erase my smile
But what's this shit that I've just heard
Son of a bitch you're working on my nerves
I'll watch you choke on your last words
It's about time you get what you deserve
Pre-Chorus:
I never lived by nobody's rules
I won't be sinking on their ship of fools
Can't push me no matter how hard they try

Come Hell, Hell Or High Water

Come Hell, Hell Or High Water
Ain't nobody messin' me around
Come Hell Or High Water
