The Bottle Let Me Down (Live at the Hilton Hotel, Las Vegas 1999)

The Bottle Let Me Down (借酒也浇不了愁) (Live Remastered) - Merle Haggard

Written by：M. Haggard

Each night I leave the bar room when it's over

Not feeling any pain at closing time

But tonight your memory found me much too sober

Couldn't drink enough to keep you off my mind

Tonight the bottle let me down

And let your memory come around

The one true friend I thought I'd found

Tonight the bottle let me down

I've always had a bottle 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 hurting in old familiar ways

Tonight the bottle let me down

And let your memory come around

The one true friend I thought I'd found

Tonight the bottle let me down

Tonight the bottle let me down
