Lyrics
Well the bottle is dry, and it's closing time
My words have a mind of their own
I held back the tears and cried in my beers
Now I don't feel like staggering home
Won't you give me a minute
Another drink to go with it
As I find the words to this song
About the cruel world and a sweet little girl
And how I left her all alone
But it's not what it seems
I'm convinced, and I believe
She's too good for me
I'm payin' the price for some crooked advice
Guess I learned my lesson again
Yeah I gave her my heart right from the start
Now all I've got left is this pain
As the smoke clears the barkeeper appears
He says, "Son, best be on your way"
One more for the road, and one for the cold
And I raise this last toast in her name
Here's to me, here's to you
May your dreams all come true
You see I'm not too good for you
It's two a.m. I don't know where I'm going
And I don't know what to do
Guess I'll find myself a little park bench
And I'll kill some time as I wait for you
No it's not what it seems
I'm convinced, and I believe
Here's to me, here's to you
May your dreams all come true
You see I'm not too good for you
