The Bottle Let Me Down - Dwight Yoakam - Mountain Winery - Lyrics (CC)

Dwight Yoakam keeps getting better - The Bottle Let Me Down (1:41) recorded with great sound and atmosphere at the Mountain Winery in the Hills above Saratoga California on October 6, 2022
Lyrics
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 turnin' every day
But the wine don't take effect the way it used to
And I'm hurtin' in an old familiar way
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

@@56seehag There is absolutely no comparison between Jones,Haggard,Hank,Kitty and Loretta to literally any other singers in history...Yoakum is on George strait and Hank Jr's level...

Dwight is human….

[@walksthesehills]

As much as I love Dwight yoakam and Dwight is so great absolutely one of my favorites make no mistake about it I like the Mavericks version of this song better they actually speeded it up with a boogie woogie of the piano and it just sounded better the way they sped it up you should hear the Mavericks version of the same song but a boogie woogie piano and it just it's just sounds way better the way Dwight did it he slowed it down made it more of a a slow driving country song which is still nice it's a different version I just happen to prefer the other one more you should check it out by the Mavericks

[@markradzwion5547]

Absolutely!! Raul Julia Rocks everything he sings.
