The Bottle Let Me Down Lyrics

(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
