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 (*##$ 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 (*##$ at the bottom

It might be lonely at the top,

but its a (*##$ at the bottom
