Bubbles In My Beer - Lyrics - Hank Thompson

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
