Memories and drinks don't mix too well
Toothpacks, records don't play those wedding bells
Looking at the world through the bottom of the 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
Here I am again, mixing misery and gin
Sitting with all my friends and talking to myself
Looks like I'm having a good time
But ain't it foolish
Can't tell
That this honky-tonk heaven
Really makes me feel like hell
And not a lonely woman's cigarette
We start talking about what we want to forgive
Who will have a story in mind to save
We both lost someone and only have ourselves to blame
Here I am again, mixing misery and gin
Sitting with all my friends and talking to myself
Looks like I'm having a good time
But ain't it foolish
Can't tell
That this honky-tonk heaven
Really makes me feel like hell
We start talking about what we want to forgive
