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
