Bottle Let Me Down Composer(s): Merle Haggard First release by: Merle Haggard and The Strangers - 1966 Covered by multiple other artists
Each night I leave the barroom when it's over Not feeling any pain at closing time But tonite your memory found me much too sober Couldn't drink enough to keep you off my mind
Tonite the bottle let me down And let your memory come around The one true friend I thought I'd found Tonite the bottle let me down
I've always had a bottle I could turn to And lately I've been turning every day But the wine don't take effect the way it used to I'm hurtin' in that old familiar way
Tonite the bottle let me down And let your memory come around The one true friend I thought I'd found Tonite the bottle let me down
