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
Well tonight,
the bottle let me down
Oh, tonight,
the bottle let me down
