Lonesome Standard Time lyrics

(Mike DowlingJan Dowling)
We were buddies once upon a time
And then you took off on your social climb
But fortune only brought you misery
And now you`re cryin` out for sympathy
Well, it`s lonely at the top
Yea, it`s lonely at the top
Well, if this workin` girl were you
She`d just enjoy the view
`Cause it`s lonely at the bottom too
Lonely at the bottom too
You`re livin` high on easy street
And we`re just tryin` to make ends meet
If you get tired of the grind
We`ll I`ll take your place and honey you take mine
Well, it`s lonely at the top
Yea, it`s lonely at the top
Well, if this workin` girl were you
She`d just enjoy the view
`Cause it`s lonely at the bottom too
Lonely at the bottom too
Like a kitten in the neighbor`s tree
Climbin` up to see what you could see
Now you`re cryin`, `cause you need some help
Well, everybody`s got to help themselves
Well, it`s lonely at the top
Yea, it`s lonely at the top
Well, if this workin` girl were you
She`d just enjoy the view
`Cause it`s lonely at the bottom too
Lonely at the bottom too
Oh honey I feel so sorry for you
All the way up there all by yourself
Well, if this workin` girl were you
She`d just enjoy the view
`Cause it`s lonely at the bottom too
Lonely at the bottom too
