[00:-2.00]James Otto - Lowdown On The High Life
[00:-1.00]
[00:00.00]
[00:16.21]He played guitar in a honky-tonk band
[00:23.44]He drank Jack Daniels, black label brand
[00:30.33]He was the life of the party
[00:33.92]Till they closed down the bar
[00:37.51]In the eyes of a young boy, he was a star
[00:44.57]
[00:46.18]He'd say, "son, don't you run down the roads that i've run
[00:54.48]And don't go and sing all the songs that i've sung
[01:01.89]'Cause this kind of livin' takes its toll on a man
[01:10.65]And through the smoke and the neon i saw it first hand
[01:17.96]I got the lowdown on the highlife
[01:21.74]But still here i am."
[01:26.52]
[01:31.29]The blues and the bottle held him under their spell
[01:38.59]Took him to heaven and put us through hell
[01:45.89]Well, sometimes I feel him up on this stage
[01:53.34]His restless spirit
[01:56.88]Still runs through my veins
[02:00.64]
[02:01.53]He'd say, "son, don't you run down the roads that i've run
[02:09.96]And don't go and sing all the songs that i've sung
[02:17.18]'Cause this kind of livin' takes its toll on a man
[02:25.96]And through the smoke and the neon i saw it first hand
[02:33.11]I got the lowdown on the highlife
[02:37.21]But still here i am."
[02:41.64]
[02:56.57]He'd say, "son, don't you run down the roads that i've run
[03:05.00]And don't go and sing all the songs that i've sung
[03:12.25]'Cause this kind of livin' takes its toll on a man
[03:20.92]And through the smoke and the neon i saw it first hand
[03:28.23]I got the lowdown on the highlife
[03:32.39]But still here i am."
[03:35.23]
[03:35.67]I got the lowdown on the highlife
[03:39.63]But still here I am
[03:44.75]
[03:48.20]Mmm...
