Lyric The Bottle Let Me Down

(Merle Haggard)

Each night I leave the barroom when it s over
Not feeling any pain at closing time
But tonight you memory found me much to sober
Couldn t drink enough to keep you off my mind

Tonight the bottle let down
and let you memory come around
The one true friend I thought I d found
Tonight the bottle let down

I ve always had a bottle I could turn to
And lately I ve been turning everyday
But the wind don t take effect the way it used to
And I m hurting in an old familiar way

Tonight the bottle let down
and let you memory come around
The one true friend I thought I d found
Tonight the bottle let down
