[Intro – Heavy Riff / Drums Explode]
[Verse 1]
When I was young they said, “Boy, stand tall,
World will hit you — hit it back hard.”
I’ve been cut, I’ve been knocked down,
Still get up, I’m still around.
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
Same old mess, same old game,
Different faces, nothing changed.
⸻
[Chorus]
High tide, low tide — I’ve been through,
Bad girls, trouble — nothing new.
She left fast, ran from me,
I don’t care, I stay free.
⸻
[Verse 2]
Seventeen, chasing a crazy girl,
Thought she was my whole world.
She said she’d stay, she lied,
By morning she was gone, I tried.
⸻
[Chorus]
High tide, low tide — I’ve paid my dues,
Love hits hard, then it cuts you loose.
She found someone new, left me still,
I’m alive, got my own thrill.
⸻
[Guitar Solo] [bluesy, screaming, expressive]
⸻
[Verse 3]
Met a girl down by the tracks,
Silver smile, talking smack.
She liked the way I rolled,
But love like that can’t hold.
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
Whispered soft, but she left quick,
By the morning, gone real slick.
⸻
[Chorus]
High tide, low tide — I’ve paid my dues,
Love hits hard, then it cuts you loose.
She found someone new, left me still,
I’m alive, got my own thrill.

[Guitar Solo] [emotional,expressive, bending, wailing]
⸻
[Bridge – Grind / Heavy Groove]
I’ve been alone on cold streets,
Heard the echoes under my feet.
But I don’t beg, I don’t crawl,
I stand strong, I take it all.
Neighbors talk, I don’t care,
I feel the beat everywhere.
This is my life, my ride,
I’m alive, I won’t hide.
⸻
[Final Chorus – Big & Open]
High tide! Low tide! Let it roll!
Love hits hard, fire in my soul!
High tide! Low tide! I don’t break —
I bend the rules till the world shakes!
⸻
[Guitar Solo / Outro] [wild, fast, improvisational, aggressive, screaming]
