Lonely At The Top - Jamey Johnson

I was pourin' out my troubles

To a stranger in a bar

'Bout the problems and the pressures

On a country music star

Half braggin', half complainin'

'Bout the money and the fame

And just how lonely lot 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 worked up a powerful thirst

Just listenin' to all your troubles»

«And while he makes that drink

I’ll smoke one if you got it

It might be lonely at the top

But it’s 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 thinkin' rearranged

That stranger made me realize

How thankful I should be

And if I forget, I hope those words

He said 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 listenin' to all your troubles»

«And while he makes that drink

I’ll smoke one if you got it

It might be lonely at the top

But it’s a bitch at the bottom»

«It might be lonely at the top

But it’s a bitch at the bottom»"
