Lowdown on the High Life Lyrics

Lowdown on the Highlife
Otto/Howell/Bergsnes
INTRO: D G D G
He played guitar in a honky-tonk band
He drank Jack Daniels Black Label brand
He was the life of the party 'til they closed down the bar
And 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 sung
'Cause this kind of livin' takes its toll on a man
And thru the smoke and the neon, I saw it first hand
I got the lowdown on the high life, but still here I am
The booze and the bottle held him under their spell
They took him to Heaven and put us thru hell
Well sometimes I feel him up on this stage
His restless spirit still runs thru my veins
SOLO: D G D G A
CHORUS (end on Bm)
I got the lowdown on the high life but still here I am
INTRO out
