Once my girl was conscious
She had better days with you
Then fame and fortune came your way
And made a change in you

You climbed your ladder of success
And I'm not on solid ground
And when it starts to crumble
Pick me up on your way down

Pick me up when roads are shattered
When false friends cannot be found
Oh you know I'll still be drinking
Pick me up on your way down

I've hit the bottom of the glass
There's just one way to go
The world I've chosen for my own
Is one you'll never know

When folks say they don't know me
Say I'm not on solid ground
You will find me in my alley
Pick me up on your way down

Pick me up when roads are shattered
When false friends cannot be found
Oh you know I'll still be drinking
Pick me up on your way down
Pick me up when roads are shattered
When false friends cannot be found
Oh you know I'll still be drinking
Pick me up on your way down
