Lyrics

"Living That High Life"
©2008



I've always had the problem
Of a low supply of cash.
So I found a quick solution
Digging in my neighbor's trash.
This really was quite simple,
Really not hard to obtain.
To get a credit card in someone else's name.

Then I saw it in the showroom.
It was calling out my name.
The thought of that new Cadillac
Would not escape my brain.
I then sat down at the table
And signed the dotted line.
You know I drove away without spending a dime.

Living that high-life--You know I'm gonna get it.
It's that high-life--With someone else's credit.
It's that high-life--with things I can't afford
Please don't tell me I can't do this anymore.

I found a five star restaurant.
And sat down at the bar.
I had a couple cocktails
As the valet parked my car.
I noticed things got quiet
As I sat a little more.
Then the cops came in and hauled me out the door.

Living that high-life--You know I'm gonna get it.
It's that high-life--With someone else's credit.
It's that high-life--all this debt I can't ignore.
Please don't tell me I can't do this anymore

Although I do not have it
I must pay that money back
I'll have to be the lucky man
Who wins it at the track.
Or maybe I'll play the lottery
Until my face turns blue.
I tell you I don't what I should do.

A couple hours later,
I was in the county jail.
I knew I had to figure out
Just how to pay my bail.
Just fifteen minutes later
I was out and doing fine.
You know that credit comes in handy all the time.
