High Cost Of Living |
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, could 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, was where I’d go to smoke my pot |
An' sit there in my pickup truck and pray |
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 damn eightball |
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 cops 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 newfound 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' |
It ain’t nothin' like the cost of livin' high |
(Just leave that stuff alone) |
