Oh I'm living in my high price paradise I got what everybody wants Yah I'm living in my high price paradise. Best thing I'll never own. Well the tax man come knocking on my door. Said" Ya got to pay me just a little bit more And I'll be back to collect again next year...mmhumm See ya own your house, your table And your kitchen chairs. Ya even own your front porch stairs. But we own the land that the whole works is sitting on." Yah I'm Paying for my high price paradise, making every dollar count. Yah I'm paying for my high price paradise. Paying for something I'll never own. I went to the dealer to get a new truck. He said "Sorry lady your outta luck, You see you paying out a little more than what your pulling in. Oh Yahh See You owe the bank, electric company, and the waterworks too. Hell I don't know how you do what you do, Yah you're high price living is getting the best of you". Yah I'm stuck in my high price paradise, making every dollar count. Yah I'm stuck in my high price paradise. Paying for something I'll never own Well I can't afford that white picket fence. I can't afford to entertain my friends, But I'll tell ya what makes it all worthwhile. Oh Yah (Slow to Half Tompo) Ya see the suns coming in up in a half an hour and we're still sitting out by the fire. All snuggled up underneath the bright moonlight. Yah I'm enjoying my high price paradise, Making every hour count, Yah I'm enjoying my high price paradise. Paying for something I'll call my own. [Coda] I got a little piece of heaven right in my hand. I got a whole lot of trees and a little bit of land. I get a whole lotta loven from a real good man, In my high price paradise, the place I call home.
