I'll Leave the Bottle on the Bar

I'll Leave the Bottle on the Bar - Merle Haggard

A loser doesn't always know he's losing

Till he's lost the game

And it's too late to win

I hope I'll call in time

And you'll forgive me

Cause I want so much to come back home again

And I'll leave the bottle on the bar

If you'll take me back to start anew

I'll leave the bottle on the bar

I'll sober up and come back home to you

I stood by and let the bottle come between us

And I let it through me time and time again

Before I thought the wine was all I needed

But now I see just what a fool I've been

And I'll leave the bottle on the bar

If you'll take me back to start anew

I'll leave the bottle on the bar

I'll sober up and come back home to you
