Donna Hughes Bottom Of A Glass Lyrics

Bottom Of A Glass Lyrics

Young and handsome, star of the team

That all the young guys simply wanted to be

Girls dreamed about him when they thought he had it all

He got wound in trouble then, the star began to fall



Fell into drinkin' blew his college chance away

Left her on her own, couldn't face the life he made

And all his promises would soon turn into lies

She never made him happy and he never made her cry



And he drank to kill the trouble on his mind

He couldn't face the future or the ones he left behind

Everyday was more lonely than the last

And he only found forgiveness in the bottom of the glass



He started runnin' with the wrong kind of crowd

And started sleepin' on the wrong side of town

Then as time went on, he tried so hard to change

But he always left her cryin', she could never make him stay



One lonely night with tears on his face

He raised his glass and his life slipped away

Just a memory, once like a dream

Everyone looked down at the star of the team



And he drank to forget about the past

And all he ever wanted was what he couldn't have

Everyday was more lonely than the last

But he finally found forgiveness in the bottom of the glass

Yeah, he finally found forgiveness in the bottom of the glass
