Once More From The Bottom

[Chorus]
Once more, from the bottom
Talk about the blues, man, I've got 'em
But not for long
The show must go on
Well, I know my part by heart
Once I start, there ain't no stoppin'
Here I go again
Once more, from the bottom

[Verse 1]
Love let me down before, left me lonesome and blue
But it was just a dress rehearsal for the pain she put me through
She took me to the top but, once again, I couldn't see
That I'd soon fall a victim to the laws of gravity

[Chorus]
And now it's once more, from the bottom
But not for long
The show must go on
Well, I know my part by heart
Once I start, there ain't no stoppin'
Here I go again
Once more, from the bottom

[Verse 2]
The curtain fell this mornin' as I watched that woman go
But the tears I cried will all be dried before the evenin' show
As the lights come up on a honky-tonk, you'll find me sittin' there
And my first line is, "Excuse me, don't I know you from somewhere?"

[Chorus]
And then it's once more, from the bottom
But not for long
The show must go on
Well, I know my part by heart
Once I start, there ain't no stoppin'
Here I go again
Once more, from the bottom

[Outro]
Here I go again
Once more, from the bottom
