I was pourin' out my troubles
To a stranger in the bar
About the problems and the pressures
On a country music starHalf braggin', half complainin'
About the money and the fame
And just how lonely life can be
When you've made yourself a nameI 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 troublesAnd 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 bottomI left a hundred on the table
And didn't wait around for change
With my load a little lighter
And my thinking rearrangedThat stranger made me realize
How thankful I should be
And if I forget I hope those words
He said come back to meI 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 troublesAnd 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 bottomIt might be lonely at the top,
But its a bitch at the bottom
