Artist: Mavericks Title: Tonight the bottle let me down [LIVE] Written by Merle Haggard =========================================
Well, each night I leave the bar room when it's over I'm not feeling any pain at closing time But tonight your memory found me much too sober Well, I said I could not drink enough to keep you off my mind
Well, tonight the bottle let me down It let your memory hang around Oh, the one and only friend I thought that I'd found But tonight, tonight the bottle let me down
Well, each night I need a bottle I can turn to But lately I've been turning every day But the wine don't take effect the way it used to And I'm a hurting in that old familiar way
Tonight the bottle let me down because it let your memory hang around Oh the one and only friend I thought I'd found But tonight's the night my bottle let me down
Yeah, tonight the bottle let me down It let, it let, your memory memory hang around Now the one and only friend I thought I'd found Well tonight, oh tonight the bottle let me down
