Two Glasses, Joe
Cindy Walker
(as recorded by Ernest Tubb)
Set up two glasses, Joe
And turn the jukebox low
And let me sit and reminisce
While I pretend that she
Is sitting here with me
The way she did not long ago
We used to paint the town red
And dance until two
Well, I don't paint it red no more
But I'm painting it blue
He stole her love I know
But he can't stop me, Joe
>From having just a dream or two
Instrumental break
Set up two glasses, Joe
Maybe you didn't know
But there's a memory in the room
A memory that walks
A memory that talks
And haunts me everywhere I go
I'm just a fool who loves here
And will till I die
>From the very first hello
To the last hello
Well this is it you know
So fill the glasses Joe
And leave me here alone to cry
