The Bottle Let Me Down Lyrics
Tonight the bottle let me down
It 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
And I'm hurtin' in old familiar ways
Tonight the bottle let me down
It let your memory come around
The one true friend I thought I'd found
Tonight the bottle let me down
Each night I leave the bar room when it's over
Not feeling any pain at closing time
But tonight your memory found me much too sober
I can't drink enough to keep you off my mind
Tonight the bottle let me down
It let your memory come around
The one true friend I thought I'd found
Tonight the bottle let me down
Great song. I came to it from the Ben Folds Five cover. Reminds me of a time I'd like to forget but keep bringing myself back to.
well it's supposed to start with each night i leave the barroom that verse is first and then the first verse you have is second. but yeah i think we all have a time when the bottle let us down. mine was the first night i came across this song.
Merle Haggard is a man with a voice of soul and words of heart.
He is a master of creating tragic beauty from pain.
