Once my girl was conscious, she had better days with you Then fame and fortune came your way and made a change in you You climbed your ladder of success and I'm not on solid ground And when it starts to crumble, pick me up on your way down Pick me up when roads are shattered, when false friends cannot be found Oh you know I'll still be drinking, pick me up on your way down I've hit the bottom of the gla**, there's just one way to go The world I've chosen for my own is one you'll never know When folks say they don't know me, say I'm not on solid ground You will find me in my alley, pick me up on your way down Pick me up when rose are shattered, when false friends cannot be found Oh you know I'll still be drinking, pick me up on your way down Pick me up when rose are shattered, when false friends cannot be found Oh you know I'll still be drinking, pick me up on your way down
