Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Headed 'cross the border

Lookin' for a place to play

I left the sun behind, I don't mind

But I think that it looked like rain

[Verse 2]

Hold back the water

I gotta find time to burn

Hold back the water

I gotta find time to burn

[Verse 3]

Headed West to Georgia

Lookin' for the road to L-A

They say the weather's fine, but the sun don't shine

'Cause the smog's always in the way

[Verse 4]

Hold back the water

I gotta find time to burn

Hold back the water (Yo)

I gotta find time to burn

[Verse 5]

Hey

[Verse 6]

I've never played no smoker

You know I've never played no hotdog

The preacher say I was born this way

With a storm cloud in my heart

[Verse 7]

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 (Ooh)

[Verse 8]

Headed 'cross he border

Lookin' for a place to play

I left the sun behind, I don't mind

But I think that it looked like rain

[Verse 9]

Hold back the water

I gotta find time to burn

Hold back the water (Yo)

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 (Hey)

I gotta find time to burn
