James Otto - 11. Lowdown On The Highlife lyrics

He played guitar in a honky-tonk band
He drank Jack Daniels, black label brand
He was the life of the party
Until 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 & the bottle held him under their spell
Took him to heaven & put us through hell
Well, sometimes I feel him up on this stage
His restless spirit
Still runs through my veins

REPEAT CHORUS

I got the lowdown on the highlife
But still here I´m
Mmm. . .
