Pick Me Up On Your Way Down

(álbum: Honky Tonk Angel - 1974)

You were mine for just a while
Now you're putting on the style.
And you never once looked back
At your home across the tracks.

Your 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.

Hey, 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
And they'll take away your crown
Pick me up on your way down.

They have changed your attitude,
Made you haughty and so rude.
Your new friends can take the blame
But underneath you're still the same.

When you learn these things are true
I'll be waiting here for you
As you tumble to the ground,
Pick me up on your way down.

Hey, 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...
