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
|
|
(Chorus:)
|
He'd say, "son, don't you run down the roads that i've run
|
And don't go and sing all the songs that i've sun
|
'Cause this kind of livin' takes its toll on a man
|
And through the smoke and the neon i saw it first hand
|
I got the lowdown on the highlife
|
Bust still here i am."
|
|
The blues and the bottle held him under their spell
|
Took him to heaven and put us through hell
|
Well, sometimes I feel him up on this stage
|
His restless spirit
|
Still runs through my veins
|
|
(Chorus)
|
|
I got the lowdown on the highlife
|
But still here I am
|
Mmm...
|

Lowdown on the Highlife
