“The Cost of Living” by Don Henley appears on his 2015 album, Cass County.
This is a duet with Merle Haggard, and he lends a significant sense of life’s lessons to some outstanding lyrics. The tempo and melody is classic country ballad.
Some folks don't like workin' hard
Some folks don't like rain
Some folks love to tell you
All about their aches and pains
Me I take the hand I'm dealt
And I play it as it lays
It's the cost of living
And everyone pays
You can't live in memories
All your golden yesterdays
Or spend your whole life grieving
For the one that got away
Common sense says let her go
But your heart disobeys
It's the cost of living
And everyone pays
Blue shadows fall all around me
Still I don't regret a single day
When I look in the mirror now
I see that time can be unkind
But I know every wrinkle
And I earned every line
So wear it like a royal crown
When you get old and grey
It's the cost of living
And everyone pays
It's the cost of living
And everyone pays
The Cost of Living was written by Don Henley.
