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

[00:00:09] Written by：Jamey Johns

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

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

[00:00:24] With bills and pressure

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

[00:00:30] She never asked

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:00:57] Before the storm

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

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

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

[00:01:14] I tell you

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:02:21] I tell you

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:03:17] In just yesterday

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

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

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

[00:03:33] I tell you

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

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

[00:03:44] I tell you

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

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