Tonight The Bottle Let Me Down

Well, each night I leave the barroom when it's over
Not feeling any pain at closing time
But tonight your memory found me much too sober
I couldn't drink enough to keep you off of my mind

Tonight the bottle let me down
And let your memory hang around
But the one true friend I thought I'd found
Well, tonight the bottle let me down

I always had a bottle I could turn to
Lately, I've been turnin' every day
But the wine don't take effect the way it used to
And I'm hurtin' in that old familiar way

Tonight the bottle let me down
And let your memory come around
But the one true friend I thought I'd found
Well, tonight the bottle let me down

Tonight the bottle let me down
And let your memory come around
The one true friend I thought I'd found
Well, tonight the bottle let me down
Tonight the bottle let me down
