Allman Brothers Band - High Cost Of Low Living lyrics

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 ride You think you're a survivor But boy, you better think twice No one rides for nothin' So, step up and pay the price It'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 ground So many here who love ya But still, you just can't tell Real ones and those who drop your name All the while behind your back They lift the flesh right from your bones You should know by now through all their game They've been chasing each dream with whiskey From here to Tokyo Usin' up all your real friends Places left to go It'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 ground Don't look behind you Ahh, don't look back Don't turn to find reason in the past Past is gone, gone at last And 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
