Lyrics
Oh, Tom now, yes
Just watching the bubbles in my beer
But come in, Thomas, get us the low down on it
Tonight in a bar alone I am sitting (yes)
Apart from the laughter and the cheer (that's not good)
While scenes from the past rise before me
Just watching the bubbles in my beer
A vision of someone who loves me
Brings a lone silent tear to my eye
Oh I know that my life's been a failure
Just watching the bubbles in my beer (yeah)
Well, alright
Oh, Thomas
I'm seeing the road that I travel (yeah)
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 all the golden chances that have past me by
And the dreams that I made now are empty (oh, no)
As empty as the bubbles in my beer
Writer(s): Cindy Walker, Tommy Duncan, James Wills
