High Cost of Living - Ameritz Top Tributes[00:00:00]

I was just a normal guy[00:00:12]

Life was just a nine to five[00:00:15]

With bills and pressure[00:00:17]

Piled up to the sky[00:00:19]

She never asked[00:00:23]

She knew I'd be[00:00:24]

Hangin' with my wilder friends[00:00:26]

Looking for some other way to fly[00:00:29]

And three days straight was no big feat[00:00:34]

Could get by with no food or sleep[00:00:37]

And crazy was becoming my new norm[00:00:40]

I'd pass out on the bedroom floor[00:00:45]

And sleep right through[00:00:48]

The calm before the storm[00:00:49]

My life was just an old routine[00:00:56]

Every day the same damn thing[00:00:59]

I couldn't even tell I was alive[00:01:02]

I tell you[00:01:07]

The high cost of livin'[00:01:08]

Ain't nothing like the cost of livin' high[00:01:10]

That southern Baptist parking lot[00:01:18]

Is where I'd go to smoke my pot[00:01:21]

Sit there in my pickup truck and pray[00:01:24]

Staring at that giant cross[00:01:30]

Just reminded me that I was lost[00:01:32]

And it just never seemed to point the way[00:01:35]

As soon as Jesus turned his back[00:01:41]

I find my way across the track[00:01:44]

Lookin' just to score another deal[00:01:46]

With my back against that damn eight ball[00:01:52]

I didn't have to think or talk or feel[00:01:55]

My life was just an old routine[00:02:03]

Every day the same damn thing[00:02:06]

I couldn't even tell I was alive[00:02:09]

I tell you[00:02:14]

The high cost of livin'[00:02:15]

Ain't nothing like the cost of livin' high[00:02:17]

My whole life went through my head[00:02:32]

Layin' in that motel bed[00:02:34]

Watchin' as the cops kicked in the door[00:02:37]

I had a job and a piece of land[00:02:42]

My sweet wife was my best friend[00:02:45]

But I traded that for coc*ine and a whore[00:02:48]

With my new found sobriety[00:02:53]

I've got the time to sit and think[00:02:56]

Of all the things I had and threw away[00:02:59]

This prison is much colder than[00:03:05]

That one that I was locked up[00:03:07]

In just yesterday[00:03:10]

My life is just an old routine[00:03:16]

Every day the same damn thing[00:03:19]

Hell I can't even tell if I'm alive[00:03:21]

I tell you[00:03:26]

The high cost of livin'[00:03:27]

Ain't nothing like the cost of livin' high[00:03:30]

I tell you[00:03:37]

The high cost of livin'[00:03:39]

Ain't nothing like the cost of livin' high[00:03:41]

Just leave that stuff alone[00:03:53]
