Lowdown On The Highlife ~*
Y
He played guitar... in a honky-tonk band.
He drank Jack Daniels... black label brand.
He was the life of the party... till they closed down the bar.
In the eyes of a young boy... he was... a star.

He'd say "son"... don't you run down the roads that I've run.
And don't go & sing all the songs that I've sung.
Cause this kind of livin'... takes it's toll on a man.
And through the smoke & the neon... I saw it first hand.

I got the lowdown... on the highlife... but still... here I am.

The blues... & the bottle... held him under thier spell.
It took him to heaven... & put us through hell.
Well sometimes I feel him... up on this stage.
His restless spirit... still runs through my vains.

He'd say "son"... don't you run down the roads that I've run.
And don't go & sing all the songs that I've sung.
Cause' this kinda livin'... that's it's toll on a man.
And through the smoke & the neon... I saw it first hand.

I got the lowdown... on the highlife... but still here I am.
Yeah...

He'd say "son" don't you run down the roads that I've run.
And don't go & sing all the songs that I've sung.
Cause' this kinda livin' takes it's toll on a man.
And throught the smoke & the neon... I saw it first hand.

I got the lowdown... on the highlife... but still here I am.
I got the lowdown... on the highlife... but still here... I am.
Mmm...
