Interesting facts and trivia about Cost Of Livin'. By Songfacts®.

Country music artist Ronnie Dunn's second solo single following the disbanding of the Brooks & Dunn duo is a working man's job application during difficult economic times. "Three dollars and change at the pump," he sings, "the cost of livin's high and going up."

The song was originally penned by songwriter Phillip Coleman before Dunn rewrote the chorus and hook back in 2008.

Dunn told the story of the song in an interview with Country Music Is Love: "Phillip Coleman had written almost the entire song, all the verses and stuff. It didn't have a title. It didn't have a hook line [or] a chorus. I asked when I first heard it if I could have a shot at it, [saying], 'Could you just give me two days? I won't hold it up or anything.'" After Dunn came up with the lines, "two dollars and change at the pump, cost of living's high and going up," the song quickly finished itself.
