Friends In High Places - Climax Blues Band

So you got it right there in the palm of your hand

Too busy with the sun and the sea and the sand

To think about a so and so like me

What you gonna do when the sun goes cold

And lines on your face say you’re getting too old

To be messing with that kind of company

And all your friends in high places

You know they’re gonna let you down

'Cause when they’ve had enough of your pretty face

When they’ve had their fun

They will leave you flat

They will let you fall

At the drop of a hat

They’ll cut you down

And when you’re down

I won’t be around

Everybody knows that you got a stack

They’re saying that you made it on your back

I remember when you gave it all to me

You’re looking like you really got it made

Like it’s never gonna rain on your charade

'Cause now you give it all away for free

And all your friends in high places

You know they’re gonna let you down

'Cause when they’ve had enough of your pretty face

When they’ve had their fun

They will leave you flat

They will let you fall

At the drop of a hat

They’ll cut you down

And when you’re down

I won’t be around

What you gonna do when your lover boys

Have simply had enough of all your toys

And they’re looking for another place to play

Baby, when you find you’re all alone

And you’re waiting all night for the telephone

Wishing that you’d never gone away

And all your friends in high places

You know they’re gonna let you down

'Cause when they’ve had enough of your pretty face

When they’ve had their fun

They will leave you flat

They will let you fall

At the drop of a hat

They’ll cut you down

All your friends in high places

You know they’re gonna let you down

Friends in high places

You know they’re gonna let you down

Friends in high places

You know they’re gonna let you down (Let you down)

Friends in high places

You know they’re gonna let you down
