Artist/Band: Porter Wagoner
Lyrics for Song: Bottle Let Me Down
Lyrics for Album: The Bottom of the Bottle (RCA Victor) [1968]



(Merle Haggard)



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.



--- Instrumental ---



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 around

The one true friend I thought I'd found

Tonight the bottle let me down.



Tonight the bottle let me down...
