Lonely At The Top (Album Version)

Lonely At The Top - Jamey Johnson

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 it's a b*tch 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 it's a b*tch at the bottom

It might be lonely at the top

But it's a b*tch at the bottom
