[Verse 1]
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
Nothin' to do but hang around
And listen to all the fools who congregate

[Chorus]
Life is full of heartbreak for a poor boy
'Cause a bankroller turned his woman's head around
Ain't no use to try to run away
Or to move to another town
'Cause anywhere a poor boy goes
There's a loser's lounge

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
Life is full of heartbreak for a poor boy
'Cause a bankroller turned his woman's head around
Ain't no use to try to run away
Or to move to another town
'Cause anywhere a poor boy goes
There's a loser's lounge
Yeah, anywhere a poor boy goes
There's a loser's lounge
