Tonight The Bottle Let Me Down (merle Haggard)

Tonight the bottle let me down

It let your memory come around

The one true friend i thought i'd found

Tonight the bottle let me down



I've always had a bottle i could turn to

And lately i've been turnin' every day

But the wine don't take effect the way it used to

And i'm hurtin' in old familiar ways



Tonight the bottle let me down

It let your memory come around

The one true friend i thought i'd found

Tonight the bottle let me down



Each night i leave the bar room when it's over

Not feeling any pain at closing time

But tonight your memory found me much too sober

I can't drink enough to keep you off my mind



Tonight the bottle let me down

It let your memory come around

The one true friend i thought i'd found

Tonight the bottle let me down
