I'll Leave the Bottle on the Bar Songtext
von Merle Haggard and The Strangers

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
