Bubbles In My Beer (first recorded and released by Bob Wills & His Texas Playboys in 1947)
Tonight in a bar alone I'm sitting Apart from the laughter and the cheers While scenes from the past rise before me Just watchin' the bubbles in my beer
A vision of someone who loved me Brings a lone silent tear to my eye Oh, I know that my life's been a failure Just watchin' the bubbles in my beer
I'm seeing the road that I've traveled A road paved with heartaches and tears And I'm seeing the past that I've wasted While watchin' the bubbles in my beer
As I think of the heart that I've broken And all the golden chances that have passed me by And the dreams that I've made, now are empty As empty as the bubbles in my beer.
