Bottom Of A Glass Lyrics - Singles - Donna Hughes

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
