(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
