She's off misbehavin' with him not with me
A pessimistic tomorrow is all that I see
Well I can live with my version of the world goin' past

Well the hard times we've had
Don't look so bad
Through the bottom of the glass


(Chorus)
So turn up the juke box dim down the lights

I don't need no vision twenty twenty tonight
Well, so I won't see her even if she walks past
Through the jokes and the tears

Lord, the smoke and the beer
Through the bottom of the glass


Well the grapevine done told me what they see and hear
They must like to watch me get tears in my beer
Well I found that new someone and you may say she's trash

Well she ain't much to see
But she looks good to me
Through the bottom of the glass


Chorus:


Through the jokes and the tears
The smoke and the beer
Through the bottom of the glass
