The High Cost of Living

Oh, oh...
Oh, oh...

He walks in late through a darkened door
No one's home for him, nobody's waiting
Wonders why he works like he does
'Cause they don't seem to care
The price that he's praying
Can't believe how the years have gone
How the family ties have been fading
Never sees that his family needs
More than all the money he's making

Oh, oh, the high cost of living, oh...
Oh, oh, the high cost of living, oh...

She wakes up slowly to the morning light
Wonders if her life will evеr get better
Hidеs under the covers and cries
The man of all her dreams has finally left her
What's the cost of a love that's lost
When it's all she's ever been giving
So afraid of another day
That she hides away from the living

Oh, oh, the high cost of living, oh...
Oh, oh, the high cost of living, oh...

Oh, the price of a higher life
Is the one we got to be paying
Letting go of the world below
'Cause we know it's not worth the saving

Oh, oh, the high cost of living, oh...
Oh, oh, the high cost of living, oh...
