And you've never once looked back
At your home across the tracks

Pick me up on your way down
Pick me up on your way down
When you're blue and all alone
When the glamor starts to bore you
Come on back where you belong
You may be their pride and joy
But they'll find another toy

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 the glamor starts to bore you
Come on back where you belong
You may be their pride and joy
But they'll find another toy
Then they'll take away your crown
Pick me up on your way down
