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
