Lyrics
The high cost of low-life livin' got me down
The high cost of low-life livin' got me down
When I finally reached to heaven I was almost underground
I went to my baby and my baby say
Boy you better changed your wicked ways
Stop your hardcore drinking and your runnin' around
Or I'm moving back with momma and leavin' you clown
The high cost of low-life livin' got me down
The high cost of low-life livin' got me down
When I finally reached to heaven I was almost underground
The rent came due and electric to
But I spent all my money on wine and hooch
A blind man could see I was on my way
To the bottom of the barrel come judgment day
The high cost of low-life livin' got me down
The high cost of low-life livin' got me down
When I finally reached to heaven I was almost underground
Well I loved my honey and couldn't let go
So I fell on my knees and I asked the Lord
Change this fool for the sake of your name
Me and my baby never been the same
The high cost of low-life livin' got me down
The high cost of low-life livin' got me down
When I finally reached to heaven I was almost underground
