I'll Leave The Bottle On The Bar Lyrics - Merle Haggard

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
