(Merle Haggard)
|
Each night I leave the barroom when it's over
|
Not feeling any pain at closing time
|
But tonight you memory found me much to sober
|
Couldn't drink enough to keep you off my mind
|
|
Tonight the bottle let down
|
and let you memory come around
|
The one true friend I thought I'd found
|
Tonight the bottle let down
|
|
I've always had a bottle I could turn to
|
And lately I've been turning everyday
|
But the wind don't take effect the way it used to
|
And I'm hurting in an old familiar way
|
|
Tonight the bottle let down
|
and let you memory come around
|
The one true friend I thought I'd found
|
Tonight the bottle let down
|
