Waylon Jennings - Bottle Let Me Down Lyrics






Each night I leave the barroom when it's over
Not feeling any pain at closin' time
But tonight your mem'ry found me much too sober
I couldn't drink enough to get you off my mind.

Tonight the bottle let me down
Let your mem'ry come around
The one true friend that I thought I'd found
Tonight the bottle let me down.

I've always had a bottle I could turn to
Lately I've been turning every day
But the booze don't take effect the way it used to
I keep a hurtin' in an old familiar way.

Tonight the bottle let me down
Let your mem'ry come around
The one true friend that I thought I'd found
Tonight the bottle let me down.

Tonight the bottle let me down
Let your mem'ry come around
The one true friend that I thought I'd found
Tonight the bottle let me down...

    Both awesome, Merle stood up to the hippies and so much else and won a lot of hippy fans at the same time.

    @serferten nah merle didn't have hippies fans, while waylons fans were 50% hippies, and waylon was long haired too

    J.... S....

    @Mr.ManMakesLotsOfCan On the surface you're so right, but the average hippie, I went through it, had a quiet admiration for the Okie from Muskogee, check out I'll Fix Your Flat Tire Merle by Pure Prairie League

    Believe Waylon stole Moon from Merle Haggard

    Nobody does it like Waylon. I can really relate to this song, i used to turn to drinking when i had a bad day or tried to get over a bad breakup. At some point it stopped working.
