you need:
Kris Kristofferson - From the bottle to the bottomGeorge Jones - If Drinking Dont Kill Me Her Memory Will

Agreed that it's around 75% of country music; probably the ur-example is Charlie Rich's "Sittin and Thinkin."

Elvis Costello's version is a bit more fun.

"Tonight the Bottle Let Me Down" is another with a decent Costello version, though of course anyone is welcome to prefer Merle's.
What about "Don't Go Back to Rockville," the verse that goes "at night I'll drink myself to sleep and pretend that I don't care that you're not here with me"?
