(Harlan Howard)      You were mine for just a while now you're puttin' on the style   And you've never once looked back at 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...
