Memories and drinks don't mix too well
And jukebox records don't play those wedding bells
Lookin' at the world through the bottom of a glass
All I see is a man who's fading fast

Tonight I need that woman again
What I'd give for my baby to just walk in
Sit down beside me and say, "It's alright"
Take me home and make sweet love to me tonight

But here I am again, mixin' misery and gin
Sittin' with all my friends and talkin' to myself
I look like I'm havin' a good time but any fool can tell

Playin' on

I light a lonely womans cigarette
We start talkin' 'bout what we want to forget
Her life story and mine are the same
We both lost someone and can only have ourselves to blame

But here I am again, mixin' misery and gin
Sittin' with all my friends and talkin' to myself
I look like I'm havin' a good time but any fool can tell
That this honky tonk heaven really makes ya' feel like hell

Memories and drinks don't mix too well
And jukebox records don't play those wedding bells
Lookin' at the world through the bottom of a glass
