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 latter of success and I'm not on solid ground
  And when it starts to trouble, pick me up on your way down
    Pick me up when rose 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 rose 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 rose are shattered, when false friends cannot be found
  Oh you know I'll still be drinking, pick me up on your way down
