High Price Of Fame

As sad as the sound of an old steel guitar
A driftin' cowboy rode away with her heart
All the boozing' and using' Audrey couldn’t win for loosing'
Left forever in the back of that Cadillac
Beautiful Jessie had only one flaw
Fallin' head over heels for a Texas outlaw
Puttin' up with Waymore took way more than she had
She was the good-hearted woman through the good and the bad
And all those highways and heartaches
All the mistakes a man makes
Where’s the glitter and gold as the shadows unfold
Everyone knows his name but she pays the high price of fame
Johnny knew June was heaven sent
Was addicted and busted heartbroken and bent
She was color and light to the dark side of his soul
Lovin' a man in black sometimes took its toll
And all those highways and heartaches
All the mistakes a man makes
Where’s the glitter and gold as the shadows unfold
Everyone knows his name but she pays the high price of fame
As I’m singing this song I’m thinkin' bout you
Wondering is this worth all that I’ve put us through
All those highways and heartaches
All the mistakes that I made
Where’s the glitter and gold as the shadows unfold
Everyone knows my name but you pay the high price of fame
