I said I´m through with honky tonks they only bring me down
So 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.
I´m just hanging round a better class of losers
It don´t matter if you drink beer or champagne
I´ve only found a better class of losers
Uptown, downtown, misery´s all the same.
It´s all been 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 a looking for an answer but all that I´ve seen here
Is the same old lonely, phoney atmosphere.
I´m just hanging round a better class of losers
It don´t matter if you drink beer or champagne
I´ve only found a better class of losers
Uptown, downtown, misery´s all the same.
