The Cost Of Living Lyrics - Cass County - Don Henley

Some folks don't like workin' hard 

Some folks don't like rain 

Some folks love to tell you 

All about their aches and pains 

Me, I take the hand I'm dealt 

And I play it as it lays 

It's the cost of living 

And everyone pays 

You can't live in memories 

Of all your golden yesterdays 

Or spend your whole life grieving 

For the one that got away 

Common sense says let her go 

But your heart disobeys 

It's the cost of living 

And everyone pays 

Blue shadows falling all around me 

Still I don't regret a single day 

I look in the mirror now 

I see that time can be unkind 

But I know every wrinkle 

And I earned every line 

So, wear it like a royal crown 

When you get old and gray 

It's the cost of living 

And everyone pays 

It's the cost of living 

And everyone pays
