re: Best opening lines to a song

Memories and drinks don't mix too well
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 fading fast

But here I am again mixing misery and gin
Sittin with all my friends and talking to myself

I look like I'm having a good time
But any fool can tell
That this honkytonk heaven really makes you feel like hell
