High Cost Of Living  Jamey Johnson



[A]I was just a normal guy
Life was just a nine to five
With bills and pressure piled up to the [E]sky

She never asked she knew I'd been

Hanging with my wilder friends
Looking for some other way to [A]fly

Three days straight was no big feet
To get by on no food or sleep
And [D]crazy was becoming my new [Bm]norm
I'd [A]pass out on the bedroom floor
And [E]sleep right through the calm before the [A]storm


My [D]life was just an old routine
[E]everyday the same damn thing I [A]couldn't even [G]tell I was [D]alive
I tell you the [A]high cost of living ain't [E]nothing like the cost of living [A]high
That southern baptist parking lot
Was where I'd go to smoke my pot
Sit there in my pickup truck and pray
And staring at that giant cross
Just reminded me that i was lost
And it just never seemed to point the way
As soon as Jesus turned his back
I'd find my way across the tracks
Looking just to score another deal
With my back against that damn eight ball
I didn't have to think or talk or feel

Chorus

My whole life went through my head
Laying in that hotel bed
Watching as the cops kicked in the door
I had a job and a piece of land
And my sweet wife was my best friend
But I traded that for cocaine and a whore
With my new found sobriety
I've got the time to sit and think
Of all the things I had and threw away
This prison is much colder than that
One that I was locked up in just yesterday

Chorus

I tell you high cost of living ain't nothing like the cost of living high

Leave that stuff alone
