INTRO: 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 INTRO 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
