I must admit I was stumped this week. In the end, decided on something a bit different. A sort of tribute to those in the backstreet bars who probably have many a tale to tell.
As I down the last dregs glaring hard at my empty glass
Should I open another bottle to drink?
But do I believe Jack Daniels can replace what once was
I feel so low now, and right on hell's brink
I realize now it was all my doing
I shouldn't have behaved so bad
You were the best thing that happened to me
The most wonderful woman that I ever had
You were so beautiful, the envy of most
Porcelain skin beyond any compare
I still remember your tender kiss
And the perfume that lingered in your hair
I wish I had told you much more how I felt
Because I loved you right from the start
I wish I had been a much better man
Instead though I just broke both our hearts
I know now you will never return to me
And for the rest of my time I'll be sad
I've joined the bitter old sods in the bar
Forever moaning that life is all bad
My drunken mumblings disperse as I turn the top
To open the bottle and pour another
My search for happiness lies in the drink
But loneliness is now my only lover
