[00:00.00] 作词 : JOHNSON, JAMEY/SLATER, JAMES T.
[00:21.85] I was just a normal guy
[00:24.59] Life was just a nine to five
[00:27.14] With bills and pressure
[00:28.57] Piled up to the sky
[00:32.45] She never asked
[00:33.99] She knew I’d be
[00:35.74] Hangin’ with my wilder friends
[00:38.63] Looking for some other way to fly
[00:41.46]
[00:43.76] And three days straight was no big feat
[00:46.56] Could get by with no food or sleep
[00:49.26] And crazy was becoming my new norm
[00:53.15]
[00:54.62] I’d pass out on the bedroom floor
[00:57.75] And sleep right through the calm before the storm
[01:01.11]
[01:05.48] My life was just an old routine
[01:08.82] Every day the same damn thing
[01:11.62] I couldn’t even tell I was alive
[01:15.04]
[01:16.28] I tell you
[01:17.63] The high cost of livin’
[01:19.73] Ain’t nothing like the cost of livin’ high
[01:23.11]
[01:28.16] That southern Baptist parking lot
[01:31.00] Is where I’d go to smoke my pot
[01:33.87] Sit there in my pickup truck and pray
[01:37.61] Staring at that giant cross
[01:42.21] Just reminded me that I was lost
[01:45.17] And it just never seemed to point the way
[01:48.31]
[01:50.45] As soon as Jesus turned his back
[01:53.36] I find my way across the track
[01:56.74] Lookin’ just to score . . . another deal
[02:01.55] With my back against that damn eight ball
[02:04.50] I didn’t have to think or talk . . . or feel
[02:08.39]
[02:12.79] My life was just an old routine
[02:15.77] Every day the same damn thing
[02:18.66] I couldn’t even tell I was alive
[02:22.07]
[02:23.20] I tell you
[02:24.52] The high cost of livin’
[02:26.31] Ain’t nothing like the cost of livin’ high
[02:30.17]
[02:41.23] My whole life went through my head
[02:44.21] Layin’ in that motel bed
[02:46.71] Watchin’ as the cops kicked in the door
[02:50.13]
[02:52.05] I had a job and a piece of land
[02:54.92] My sweet wife was my best friend
[02:57.58] But I traded that for cocaine and a whore
[03:00.84]
[03:03.32] With my new found sobriety
[03:05.87] I’ve got the time to sit and think
[03:08.67] Of all the things I had . . . and threw away
[03:12.44]
[03:14.20] This prison is much colder than
[03:16.90] That one that I was locked up in just yesterday
[03:21.33]
[03:25.39] My life is just an old routine
[03:28.27] Every day the same damn thing
[03:31.23] Hell I can’t even tell if I’m alive
[03:34.61]
[03:35.84] I tell you
[03:36.77] The high cost of livin’
[03:39.21] Ain’t nothing like the cost of livin’ high
[03:42.68]
[03:47.06] I tell you
[03:48.32] The high cost of livin’
[03:50.39] Ain’t nothing like the cost of livin’ high
