The High Cost of Low Living 7-19-05
You're the life of the party, Everybody's host.
Still you need somewhere you can hide.
All your goodtime friends
and your fairweather has beens.
Lord knows they're just along for the ride.
You think you're a survivor, but boy you better think twice.
No one rides for nothin' so step up and pay the price.
It's the high cost of low living.
Aint it high time you turned yourself around
Yeah, the high cost of low living.
It's bound to put you six feet in the ground.
So many here who love you,
but still you just can't tell the real ones from those who drop your name
All the while behind your back
they rip the flesh right off your bones.
But you should know by now we're all fair game.
Ya been chasin' your dreams through whisky
From here to Tokyo.
Using up your real friends and places left to go
Don't look behind you.
No don't.
Don't try to find reason in the past.
The past is gone.
Gone at last
