High Cost Of Leaving

David Briggs, Donnie Fritts

>
I work hard all day long
To earn my money
But I might as well stay home
For the good it does me

Cause I can't buy back what I've lost
And I have to pay the cost
And without your love
I'm as cold as a man can be

Oh, (I beg the) high cost, girl, of leaving - ?
(I beg the) the high cost, girl, of leaving - ?
I left your arms
And I'm grieving'
Oh how I'm greivin'

I thought I was such a big man
I didn't need you
I looked forward to the day
When I would be free
Oh but now I'm looking back
Through the tears that burn my eyes
And all I can see
Is you refusing me
And it's hard to face the pain

Oh, (I beg the) high cost, girl, of leaving - ?
(I beg the) high cost of leaving - ?
I left your arms
And I'm grieving'
Oh how I'm greivin'

Percy:
Every night I spend on the road
Backing Singers:
[I left your arms
And I'm grieving'
Oh how I'm greivin']
