Lyrics
TELL THEM I SAID HIGH
____________________________________
I NEVER QUITE GOT OVER YOU
ALTHOUGH YOU KNOW I TRIED
THE FRIENDS THAT I STILL PARTY WITH
WERE FRIENDS OF YOURS AND MINE
I KNOW THAT YOU'LL RECALL THEIR NAMES:
JIM BEAM, JACK AND RYE
SO WHEN YOUR FRIENDS ASK HOW I'VE BEEN
TELL THEM I SAID HIGH
'CAUSE HIGH IS THE ONLY PLACE WHERE I DON'T FEEL BLUE
AND HIGH IS THE ONLY WAY THAT I'LL GET OVER YOU
SO I'LL JUST POUR ONE MORE TO GET YOU OFF MY MIND
AND WHEN YOUR FRIENDS ASK HOW I'VE BEEN
TELL THEM I SAID HIGH
Instr.
I'LL NEVER LOVE THIS WAY AGAIN
TO TRY WOULD BE IN VAIN
I'M JUST DOING THE BEST I CAN
TO EASE THE PAIN
THE DAY THAT I GET OVER YOU
I WILL LEAVE THE BOOZE BEHIND
'TIL THEN WHEN FRIENDS ASK HOW I'VE BEEN
TELL THEM I SAID HIGH
'CAUSE HIGH IS etc.
Tag:
WHEN YOUR FRIENDS ASK HOW I'VE BEEN
TELL THEM I SAID HIGH
