High Cost Of Living

Dans le style de

Jamey Johnson

Paroles

i was just a normal guy
life was just a nine to five

with bills and pressure
piled up to the sky

she never asked
she knew i'd been

hangin' with my wilder friends
lookin' for some other

way to fly

and three days straight
was no big feat

to get by with
no food or sleep

and crazy
was becomin'

my new norm

i'd pass out
on the bedroom floor

and sleep right through
the calm before the storm

my life
was just an old routine

every day
the same damn thing

i couldn't even tell

i was alive

i tell you
the high cost of livin'

ain't nothin' like
the cost of livin' high

that southern baptist
parkin' lot

is where i'd go
to smoke my pot

sit there in
my pickup truck

and pray

and starin'
at that giant cross

just reminded me
that i was lost

and it just
never seemed

to point the way

as soon as jesus
turned his back

i'd find my way
across the tracks

lookin' just to score

another deal

with my back against
that damned eight ball

i didn't have to think
or talk or feel

my life was just
an old routine

every day
the same damn thing

i couldn't even tell

i was alive

i tell you
the high cost of livin'

ain't nothin' like
the cost of livin' high

my whole life
went through my head

layin' in
that motel bed

watchin' as the cop

kicked in the door

i had a job
and a piece of land

my sweet wife
was my best friend

but i traded that

for cocaine and a whore

with my
new found sobriety

i've got the time
to sit and think

of all the things i had

and threw away

this prison
is much colder than

that one that i was
locked up in just yesterday

my life is
just an old routine

every day
the same damn thing

hell i can't even

tell if i'm alive

i tell you
the high cost of livin'

ain't nothin' like
the cost of livin' high

i tell you
the high cost of livin'

ain't nothin'
like the cost of livin' high

better leave that stuff alone
