High Cost Of Living (Album Version) - Jamey Johnson (杰梅·约翰逊)[00:00:00]

Written by：Jamey Johns[00:00:09]

I was just a normal guy[00:00:19]

Life was just a nine to five[00:00:22]

With bills and pressure[00:00:24]

Piled up to the sky[00:00:26]

She never asked[00:00:30]

She knew I'd be[00:00:31]

Hangin' with my wilder friends[00:00:33]

Looking for some other way to fly[00:00:36]

And three days straight was no big feat[00:00:41]

Get by with no food or sleep[00:00:44]

And crazy was becoming my new norm[00:00:47]

I'd pass out on the bedroom floor[00:00:52]

Sleep right through the calm[00:00:55]

Before the storm[00:00:57]

My life was just an old routine[00:01:03]

Every day the same dam'n thing[00:01:06]

I couldn't even tell I was alive[00:01:09]

I tell you[00:01:14]

The high cost of livin'[00:01:15]

Ain't nothing like the cost of livin' high[00:01:17]

That southern Baptist parking lot[00:01:26]

Is where I'd go to smoke my pot[00:01:28]

Sit there in my pickup truck and pray[00:01:31]

Staring at that giant 'cross[00:01:37]

Just reminded me that I was lost[00:01:40]

And it just never seemed to point the way[00:01:43]

As soon as Jesus turned his back[00:01:48]

I find my way across the track[00:01:51]

Lookin' just to score another deal[00:01:54]

With my back against that dam'n eight ball[00:01:59]

I didn't have to think or talk or feel[00:02:02]

My life was just an old routine[00:02:10]

Every day the same dam'n thing[00:02:13]

I couldn't even tell I was alive[00:02:16]

I tell you[00:02:21]

The high cost of livin'[00:02:22]

Ain't nothing like the cost of livin' high[00:02:24]

My whole life went through my head[00:02:39]

Layin' in that motel bed[00:02:42]

Watchin' as the cops kicked in the door[00:02:44]

I had a job and a piece of land[00:02:49]

My sweet wife was my best friend[00:02:52]

But I traded that for c*****e and a whore[00:02:55]

With my new found sobriety[00:03:01]

I've got the time to sit and think[00:03:03]

Of all the things I had and threw away[00:03:06]

This prison is much colder than[00:03:12]

That one that I was locked up[00:03:14]

In just yesterday[00:03:17]

My life is just an old routine[00:03:23]

Every day the same dam'n thing[00:03:26]

Hell I can't even tell if I'm alive[00:03:29]

I tell you[00:03:33]

The high cost of livin'[00:03:34]

Ain't nothing like the cost of livin' high[00:03:37]

I tell you[00:03:44]

The high cost of livin'[00:03:46]

Ain't nothing like the cost of livin' high[00:03:48]
