Misery and Gin

Misery and Gin(live版) - Merle Haggard
Memories and drinks don't mix too well
And jukebox records don't play
those wedding bells
Looking at the world through
the bottom of a glass
All I see is a man who's fadin' 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.
But here I am again mixing misery and gin
Sittin' with all my friends
and talkin' to myself
I look like I'm havin' a good time
but any fool can tell
That this honky tonk heaven really
makes you feel like hell.
I light a lonely woman's cigarette
We start talkin' bout what we want to forget
Her life story and mine are the same
We both lost someone and only
have ourselves to blame
But here I am again mixing misery and gin
Sittin' with all my friends
and talkin' to myself
I look like I'm havin' a good time
but any fool can tell
That this honky tonk heaven really
makes you feel like hell.
