I said I'm through with honky tonks they only bring me down

So 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



I'm just hanging round a better class of losers

It don't matter if you drink beer or champagne

I've only found a better class of losers

Uptown downtown misery's all the same



It's all been 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 a looking for an answer but all that I've seen here

Is the same old lonely phoney atmosphere



I'm just hanging round a better class of losers...

Uptown downtown misery's all the same
