(Cindy Walker - Bob Wills - Tommy Duncan)

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.

[Instrumental]

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 passed me by
The dreams I've once made now are over
As empty as the bubbles in my beer...
