[00:00.00]The Bottle Let Me Down (Live) - Merle Haggard
[00:16.00]Each night I leave the bar room when it's over
[00:23.37]Not feeling any pain at closing time
[00:30.88]But tonight your memory found me much too sober
[00:38.28]Couldn't drink enough to keep you off my mind
[00:45.55]Tonight the bottle let me down
[00:52.97]And let your memory come around
[01:00.64]The one true friend I thought I'd found
[01:07.69]Tonight the bottle let me down
[01:13.86]I've always had
[03:11.34]I've always had a bottle I could turn to
[03:18.45]And lately I've been turning every day
[03:29.47]And I'm hurting in old familiar ways
[03:39.54]Tonight the bottle let me down
[03:46.96]And let your memory come around
[03:54.74]The one true friend I thought I'd found
[04:01.12]Tonight the bottle let me down
[04:08.88]Tonight the bottle let me down
