[Verse]
Woke up this mornin'
Sun was low
Bills were high
Checkin' pockets for loose change
But they're bone-dry
Coffee's cold and thin
Dreams blown away like dust
Paychecks came and went
Leavin' nothin' but rust

[Verse 2]
Rentman's knockin'
Landlord's shoutin' from the stairs
Askin' for my dues with a sneer and a stare
Today I'll eat my pride
Tomorrow another empty plate
Walkin' tightropes of fear
'bout to tempt fate

[Chorus]
Cost of livin'
Weighin' down
Breakin' backs and breakin' hearts
Can't find no relief
No merciful restarts
Coins in the jar jingle
But not enough for bread
World's too expensive
Leaves the soul hangin' by a thread

[Verse 3]
Banjos strummin'
Strings singin' tales of woe
Hands are blistered
Still got miles left to go
Dreams that never bloom
Just shadows that won't lift
Workin' to survive
Missin' life's precious gift

[Verse 4]
Meetin' eyes of strangers
They're in the same bind
Goin' through motions
Our future's undermined
Heroes on this road
Warriors without cheer
Fighting silent battles
Each day another frontier

[Chorus]
Cost of livin'
Weighin' down
Breakin' backs and breakin' hearts
Can't find no relief
No merciful restarts
Coins in the jar jingle
But not enough for bread
World's too expensive
Leaves the soul hangin' by a thread
