Once my girl was conscious, she had better days with you

Then fame and fortune came your way and made a change in you

You climbed your latter of success and I'm not on solid ground

And when it starts to trouble, pick me up on your way down



Pick me up when rose are shattered, when false friends cannot be found

Oh you know I'll still be drinking, pick me up on your way down



I've hit the bottom of the glass, there's just one way to go

The world I've chosen for my own is one you'll never know

When folks say they don't know me, say I'm not on solid ground

You will find me in my alley, pick me up on your way down



Pick me up when rose are shattered, when false friends cannot be found

Oh you know I'll still be drinking, pick me up on your way down

Pick me up when rose are shattered, when false friends cannot be found

Oh you know I'll still be drinking, pick me up on your way down
