Karaoké The Bottle Let Me Down Merle Haggard

Each night I leave the barroom when it's over

Not feelin' any pain at closin' time

But tonight your memory found me much too sober

Couldn't drink enough to keep you off my mind

Tonight the bottle let me down

And 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

Now I'm hurtin' in an old familiar way

Tonight the bottle let me down

And let your memory come around

The one true friend

I thought I'd found tonight the bottle let me down tonight the bottle let me down
