I said I'm thru with honky tonks, they only bring me down
So I dressed my best and headed for the brightest spot in town
I watch the rich folks come and go and one things very clear
There's just as many lonely people here
Chorus:
And I'm just hangin round a better class of losers
Now it don't matter if you drink beer or champagne
No, I've only found a better class of losers
Uptown, downtown misery's all the same
Solo
It's been all downhill for me since baby walked away
I'm down here at the bottom now and I guess that's where I'll stay
I keep looking for the answers and all that I've seen here
Is the same old lonely cold atmosphere
Chorus
Uptown, downtown misery's all the same
For the blues are still the blues
Still just as hard to lose
Uptown, downtown misery's all the same
So I dressed my best and headed for the brightest spot in town
I watch the rich folks come and go and one things very clear
There's just as many lonely people here
Chorus:
And I'm just hangin round a better class of losers
Now it don't matter if you drink beer or champagne
No, I've only found a better class of losers
Uptown, downtown misery's all the same
Solo
It's been all downhill for me since baby walked away
I'm down here at the bottom now and I guess that's where I'll stay
I keep looking for the answers and all that I've seen here
Is the same old lonely cold atmosphere
Chorus
Uptown, downtown misery's all the same
For the blues are still the blues
Still just as hard to lose
Uptown, downtown misery's all the same
