(Harlan Howard)      You were mine for just a while   Now you're puttin' on the style   And you've never once looked back   To your home across the track.      You're the gossip of the town   But my heart can still be found   Where you tossed it on the ground   Pick me up on your way down.      Pick me up on your way down   When you're blue and all alone   When their glamour starts to bore you   Come on back where you belong.      You may be their pride and joy   But they'll find another toy   Then they'll take away your crown   Pick me up on your way down.      --- Instrumental ---      They have changed your attitude   Made you haughty and so rude   Your new friends can take the blame   Underneath you're still the same.      When you've learned these things are true   I'll be waiting here for you   As you tumble to the ground   Pick me up on your way down.      Pick me up on your way down   When you're blue and all alone   When their glamour starts to bore you   Come on back where you belong.      You may be their pride and joy   But they'll find another toy   Then they'll take away your crown   Pick me up on your way down...
