When I was young, I was told,
While mama wiped the teardrops
staggering through the door
Full of whiskey and full of empty lies
I'd still hear mama saying,
Foolish games come with a price,
It's the high cost of low living
The pearly gates are closed,
It's the high cost of low living
Don't that my dear love is tried and true
Barstools and broken rules
Now my conscience just won't let me be
with those tears in her eyes
It's the high cost of low living
The pearly gates are closed,
It's the high cost of low living
Don't come back till love's tried
It's the high cost of low living
The pearly gates are closed,
It's the high cost of low living
Don't come back till your
It's the high cost of low living
The pearl against your clothes
It's the high cost of low living
Don't come back till your love's
