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   Uptown, downtown misery's all the same
