(ron peterson, harlan howard)



I said i'm through with honky tonks

They only bring me down

I dressed my best and headed for

The brightest spot in town

I've watched the rich folks come and go and one thing's very clear

There's just as many lonely people here



Chorus

I'm just hangin' ¡®round a better class of losers

It don't matter if you drink bear or champagne

I've only found a better class of losers

Uptown, downtown misry's all the same



It's been all downhill for me

Since baby walked away

I'm down here at the bottom

And i guess that's where i'll stay

I'm looking for the answers

But all that i've seen here

Is the same old lonely phony atmosphere



Repeat chorus



For the blues are still the blues

Still just as hard to lose

Uptown, downtown...misery's all the same
