Keith Whitley - Lonely at the Top lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 b**h at the bottom" [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 b**h at the bottom" [Outro] "It might be lonely at the top But it's a b**h at the bottom""
