There's a honky tonk in this town

They call the loser's lounge

And I guess I'm a charter member

You could say

Since love has turned me down

Nothin' to do but hang around

And listen to all the fools who come to say

That life is full of heartaches for a poor boy

'Cause a bank roll can turn

His woman's head around

Ain't no use to try and run away

Or move to another town

'Cause any where a poor boy

Goes there's a loser's lounge

Had a real good friend named Sam

Said he just couldn't understand

Why in the world his sweet love let him down

But a rich man caught her eye

He had the money for things to buy

Now there's a brand new member

Down at the loser's lounge

Life is full of heartaches for a poor boy

'Cause a bank roll can turn

His woman's head around

Ain't no use to try and run away

Or move to another town

'Cause any where a poor boy

Goes there's a loser's lounge

Oh yeah
