Merle Haggard - Misery And Gin

Thank you my friend Lt Col Charlie Brown for sharing the music video of Merle Haggard performing Misery And Gin live somewhere :-)
Misery And Gin was included on the Rainbow Stew LP released July 1981.

Misery and Gin by Merle Haggard
Lyrics
"Memories and drinks don't mix too well.
Jukebox records don't play those wedding bells.
Lookin' at the world through the bottom of a glass,
All I see is a man who's fading fast.
Tonight I need that woman again.
What I'd give for my baby to just walk in.
Sit down beside me and say: "It's alright.
"Take me home and make sweet love to me tonight."
But here I am again, mixin' misery and gin.
Sittin' with all my friends and talkin' to myself.
I look like I'm havin' a good time but any fool can tell,
That this honky tonk Heaven really makes ya' feel like hell.
I light a lonely woman's cigarette,
We both start talkin' 'bout what we want to forget.
Her life…"

Here is a music video of him performing this song at the Anaheim Stadium Concert on October 1980.
