Charlie Walker – Pick Me Up On Your Way Down Lyrics

 

You were mine for just awhile

Now you’re putting on the style

And you never once looked back

At your home across the track

 

You’re 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

 

Pick me up on your way down

When you’re blue and all alone

When there glamor starts to boar you

Come on back where you belong

 

You maybe 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 honey and so rude

Your new friends can take the blame

Underneath your 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

 

Pick me up on your way down

When you’re blue and all alone

When there glamor starts to boar you

Come on back where you belong

 

You maybe their pride and joy

But they’ll find another toy

And they’ll take away your crown

Pick me up on your way down
