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
