I was pourin' out my troubles
|
To a stranger in the bar
|
About the problems and the pressures
|
On a country music star
|
|
Half braggin', half complainin'
|
Bout the money and the fame
|
And just how lonely life can be
|
When you've made yourself a name
|
|
I said would you like a drink
|
He said thanks, I'll have a double
|
I've worked up a powerful thirst
|
Just listening to all your troubles
|
And while he makes that drink
|
I'll smoke one if you got 'em
|
It might be lonely at the top,
|
But its a bitch at the bottom
|
|
I left a hundred on the table
|
and didn't wait around for change
|
with my load a little lighter
|
and my thinking rearranged
|
|
That stranger made me realize
|
how thankful I should be
|
And if I forget I hope those words
|
he said I hope come back to me
|
|
I said would you like a drink
|
He said thanks, I'll have a double
|
I've worked up a powerful thirst
|
just listening to all your troubles
|
And while he makes that drink
|
I'll smoke one if you got 'em
|
It might be lonely at the top,
|
but its a bitch at the bottom
|
|
It might be lonely at the top,
|
but its a bitch at the bottom
|

Lonely At The Top
