By Merle Haggard [email protected] 10/2/2004 (Key Of ) 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 fo-o-o-o-l can tell That this honky tonk Heaven really makes you f-e-e-l like hell I light a lonely womans cigarette And we start talkin’ ’bout what we want to forget Her life story and mine are the same We both lost someone and only have ourselves to blame Chorus
