George Jones - The Bottle Let Me Down Lyrics






Tonight the bottle let me down,
And left your memory come around;
The one true friend I thought I'd found,
Tonight the bottle let me down.

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,
I couldn't drink enough to keep you off my mind.

Tonight the bottle let me down,
And left 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 turnin' every day;
But the wine don't take effect the way it used to,
And I'm hurtin' in an old familiar ways.

Tonight the bottle let me down,
And left 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...

  30. B.... C....

    The Possum had a voice didn't he? Heard him every morning since i was a kid.

  45. A.... A....

    I know how to truly live life now

  46. W.... N....

    341 dislikes knows nothing and i mean nothing about real country music !

  47. m.... O....

    He will always be the greatest

  48. D.... N....

    Dam shore did

  49. G.... B....

    George is the greatest

  50. L.... S....

    If only a person could age to a certain age and then stay that age forever. That's how i feel about George Jones.

  51. H.... ....

    I’d a swore that I have herd this song done by another singer someplace...hmm ;)

  52. W.... H....

    maybe I shouldnt , but I've always thought George and Merle were about the only ones who really nailed the true sound of country music . some others got close but their catalog of songs just didnt reflect the way these two singers did .

  53. G.... S....

    He was doing a gig at a fair I was working,Mr no show

  54. M.... H....

    That voice can never be copied. That’s that SETX dialect mixed in with emotion, something you won’t find in today’s country music.

  55. K.... B....

    I remember my mom playing this one when I was younger.

  56. R.... ....

    Slim Whitman had the best voice of all time. But George Jones is the best singer of all time.

  57. D.... M....

    GOOD OLD GEORGE ITS NOT THE BOTTLE ITS TIME THAT LETS ALL OF US DOWN

  58. M.... m....

    Yeah me too George!! Only difference is tonight I will end my life. But thank you for the memories of you ❤. I'm an Irish girl lost to the bloody streets of London. Can't deal with the fear of w.. Anyways. My breathing is shallow but my memory

  59. S.... L....

    I love George Jones he's been here for me since I was young. Little understanding,I,d merry his Christmas talent and more.

  60. S.... L....

    I would verbally like to go to a concert If you have car I have benefits to spend.

  61. S.... L....

    I love this song

  62. A.... G....

    I can't it's a family tradition but I love it

  63. R.... R....

    Merle wrote this and sang this song , huge hit ,,, as much as I love George jones , what makes Merle the best of all time - total package, Merle wrote majority of his songs

  64. m.... s....

    Elvis Presley said " Roy Orbison has the greatest voice of all" but 'George Jones is the greatest singer of all'

  65. G.... K....

    Better than "Tonite da Batu knockt me down
    Just as the pipe was going round
    Have one last pepa that I've found
    Tonite da Batu knockt me down.
    Nah I quit this morning that is bout 9 hrs CLEAN CHUUUUU DOGIE
