Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hooked on money, hooked on chain
No more cripple, no more cane
How'd I do all I did?
Why won't you call me "The Kid?"
[Verse 2]
Best believe, I'm afraid
Shake it off every day
You're like a record spinnin' 'round
I'm leavin' this town
[PreChorus]
I ain't been the way that it goes
Rather die alone from somethin' that I chose
Go out in style
Go out on fire
[Chorus]
Livin' high, high, high
High above that water
Livin' high, high, high
High above that water
[Verse 3]
Dark as day, bright as night
That's the big city life
Troubles always next door
Always beggin' for more
[Verse 4]
Give and take what you got
Make your way to the top
I won't ever come down
I feel what I've found
[PreChorus]
I ain't been the way that it goes
Rather die alone from somethin' that I chose
Go out in style
Go out on fire
[Chorus]
Livin' high, high, high
High above that water
Livin' high, high, high
High above that water
[Bridge]
Finally given
A shot in the dark
We're no longer livin' our lives twice as hard
Hard, yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
Livin' high, high, high
High above that water
Livin' high, high, high
High above that water
[Outro]
Hooked on money, hooked on chain
No more cripple, no more cane
How'd I do all I did?
Why won't you call me "The Kid?"
