High Cost of Low Living

You're the life of the party, everybody's host
Still you need somewhere you can hide
All your good time friends
And your farewell to has-beens
Lord knows, just along for the rideYou think you're a survivor
But boy, you better think twice
No one rides for nothin'
So, step up and pay the priceIt's a high cost of low livin'
Ain't it high time? You turn yourself around
Yeah, the high cost of low livin'
It's bound to put you six feet in the groundSo many here who love ya
But still, you just can't tell
Real ones and those who drop your nameAll the while behind your back
They lift the flesh right from your bones
You should know by now through all their gameThey've been chasing each dream with whiskey
From here to Tokyo
Usin' up all your real friends
Places left to goIt's a high cost of low livin'
Ain't it high time? You turn yourself around
Yeah, the high cost of low livin'
It's bound to put you six feet in the groundDon't look behind you
Ahh, don't look back
Don't turn to find reason in the past
Past is gone, gone at lastAnd it's high cost of low livin'
And it's high time you turn yourself around
Well, the high cost of low livin'
It's bound to put you six feet in the ground
