Tonight in the bar alone I'm sitting
Apart from the laughter and the cheer
Scenes from the past rise before me
Watchin' the bubbles in my beer

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

 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
