Tonight in a bar alone I'm sitting
Apart from the laughter and the cheer
While scenes from the past rise before me
I'm watching the bubbles in my beer
A vision of someone who loves me
Brings along solty tears to my eyes
So I know that my life's been a failure
Just watching the bubbles in my beer
[ steel - fiddle ]
I'm seeing the road that I've travelled
A road paved with heartaches and tears
And I'm seeing the past that I've wasted
While watching the bubbles in my beer
As I think of the heart that I've broken
And of the golden chances that have passed me by
And the dreams that I had now are empty
As empty as the bubbles in my beer
Apart from the laughter and the cheer
While scenes from the past rise before me
I'm watching the bubbles in my beer
A vision of someone who loves me
Brings along solty tears to my eyes
So I know that my life's been a failure
Just watching the bubbles in my beer
[ steel - fiddle ]
I'm seeing the road that I've travelled
A road paved with heartaches and tears
And I'm seeing the past that I've wasted
While watching the bubbles in my beer
As I think of the heart that I've broken
And of the golden chances that have passed me by
And the dreams that I had now are empty
As empty as the bubbles in my beer
