My road to prosperity needs a little paving
When opportunity came knockin
I was on vacation
I guess that I should try to figure it out
But it's my turn to buy the next round

I hear it's mighty lonely at the top
That's why I'll stay right here
With the friends I've got
My world ain't perfect, I've got my problems
Someday I might even solve one
But I'm doin alright, livin life at the bottom

I gotta a stack of bills so high
They almost touch the ceiling
But there's beer in the fridge and sports on my tv
They finally came and repossed my car
But that won't make me late to happy hour

I hear it's mighty lonely at the top
That's why I'll stay right here
With the friends I've got
My world ain't perfect, I've got my problems
Someday I might even solve one
But I'm doin alright, livin life at the bottom

Here's to the not so rich and famous
And all my friends in low places
We may never reach easy street
Hey, I never was too keen on high society

I hear it's mighty lonely at the top
That's why I'll stay right here
With the friends I've got
My world ain't perfect, I've got my problems
Someday I might even solve one
But I'm doin alright, livin life at the bottom
Livin life at the bottom
