(Merle Haggard)
Tonight the bottle let me down.
I've always had a bottle that I could turn to
And lately I've been turning every day
But the wine don't take effect the way it used to
And I'm a hurtin' in an old familiar way.
Tonight the bottle let me down
And let your mem'ry come around
The one true friend I thought I'd found
Tonight the bottle let me down.
--- Instrumental ---
Each night I leave the barroom when it's over
Not feeling any pain at closing time
But tonight your mem'ry found me much too sober
I couldn't drink enough to keep you off my mind.
Tonight the bottle let me down
And let your mem'ry come around
The one true friend I thought I'd found
Tonight the bottle let me down.
Tonight the bottle let me down...
