Tonight in a barroom I'm sitting apart from the laughter and cheer
The scenes of my life past before me while watching the bubbles in my beer
A vision of someone who loved me brings along silent tear to my eye
I know that my life's been a failure just watching the bubbles in my beer
[ guitar ]
I'm seeing the road that I've travelled a road paved with heartaches and tears
I'm seeing the past that I've wasted while watching the bubbles in my beer
I think of the heart that I've broken and the golden chances that have pa**ed me by
The dreams I've once made now are over as empty as the bubbles in my beer
