There's a honky tonk in this town
That they call the loser's lounge
I'm a charter member, you could say
Since love has turned me down
Nothing to do but hang around
And listen to all the fools who congregate
Life is full of heartbreak for a poor boy
'Cause a bankroll'd turn his woman's head around
Ain't no use to try and run away or to move to another town
'Cause anywhere a poor boy goes, there's a loser's lounge
I had a real good friend named Sam
Who said he just couldn't understand
Why in the world his sweet love turned 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 heartbreak for a poor boy
'Cause a bankroll'd turn his woman's head around
Ain't no use to try and run away or to move to another town
'Cause anywhere a poor boy goes, there's a loser's lounge
Yeah, anywhere the poor boy goes, there's a loser's lounge
