Apart from the laughter and the cheer
 Scenes from the past rise before me
 Watchin' the bubbles in my beer

 (Chorus:)
 Visions of someone who loved me
 Brings a lone silent tear to my eye
 And I know that my life's been a failure
 Watchin' the bubbles in my beer

 I'm seeing the road that I travel
 A road filled with heartaches and tears
 And I'm seeing the past that I've wasted
 Watchin' the bubbles in my beer

 (Repeat chorus)



 (As Performed by Ray Price on
    "San Antonio Rose - A Tribute To The Great Bob Wills)

 Tonight in a bar room I'm sitting
 Apart from the laughter and the cheer
 The scenes of my life pass before me
 While watchin' the bubbles in my beer

 CHORUS:
 A vision of someone who loved me
 Brings a lone, silent tear to my eye
 I know that my life's been a failure
 Just watchin' the bubbles in my beer

 I'm seein' the road that I travel
 A road paved with heartaches and tears
 I'm seein' the past that I've wasted
 While watchin' the bubbles in my beer

 CHORUS:
 I think of the heart that I've broken
 And the golden chances that have passed me by
 The dreams I once made now are over
 As empty as the bubbles in my beer
