Tonight The Bottle Let Me Down Lyrics

TONIGHT THE BOTTLE LET ME DOWN
WRITER MERLE HAGGARD

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

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 aroundGeorge Jones - Tonight The Bottle Let Me Down - http://motolyrics.com/george-jones/tonight-the-bottle-let-me-down-lyrics.html
The one true friend I thought I'd found
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

Tonight the bottle let me down
