(Cindy Walker - Bob Wills - Tommy Duncan)

Tonight in a bar alone I'm sittin'
Apart from the laughter and the cheer
While scenes from the past rise before me
I'm watchin' the bubbles in my beer.

A vision of someone who loves me
Brings along solty tears to my eyes
I know that my life's been a failure
Just watchin' the bubbles in my beer.

--- Instrumental ---

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 watchin' the bubbles in my beer.

As I think of the hearts I have broken
And of the golden chances that have passed me by
The dreams that I dreamed now are empty
As empty as the bubbles in my beer...
