Bottom Of A Glass - Donna Hughes, Carl Jackson, Rhonda Vincent

Young & handsome

Star of the team

What all the young guys simply wanted to be

Girls dreamed about him, and he thought he had it all

He got one in trouble, and the star began to fall

Fell into drinking, blew his college chance away

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

And all his promises would soon turn into lies

She never made him happy, and he never made it right

And he drank to kill the trouble on his mind

He couldn’t face the future or the ones he’d left behind

Every day was more lonely than the last

And he only found forgiveness in the bottom of a glass

He started running with the wrong kind of crowd

He started sleeping on the wrong side of town

Then as time went on he tried so hard to change

But he always left her crying, 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 had loved him, the star of the team

And he drank to forget about the past

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

Every day was more lonely than the last

But he finally found forgiveness at the bottom of a glass

Yeah he finally found forgiveness, at the bottom of a glass
