(Ron Peterson, Harlan Howard)
|
|
I said I¡¯m through with honky tonks
|
They only bring me down
|
I dressed my best and headed for
|
The brightest spot in town
|
I¡¯ve watched the rich folks come and go and one thing¡¯s very clear
|
There¡¯s just as many lonely people here
|
|
Chorus
|
I¡¯m just hangin¡¯ ¡®round a better class of losers
|
It don¡¯t matter if you drink bear or champagne
|
I¡¯ve only found a better class of losers
|
Uptown, downtown misry¡¯s all the same
|
|
It¡¯s been all downhill for me
|
since baby walked away
|
I¡¯m down here at the bottom
|
And I guess that¡¯s where I¡¯ll stay
|
I¡¯m looking for the answers
|
But all that I¡¯ve seen here
|
Is the same old lonely phony atmosphere
|
|
Repeat Chorus
|
|
For the blues are still the blues
|
Still just as hard to lose
|
Uptown, downtown...misery¡¯s all the same
|
