The Bottle Let Me Down

Each night I leave the bar room when it's over

I'm not feelin' any pain at closing time

But tonight your memory found me much too sober

Couldn't drink enough to keep you off my mind

Yeah, tonight the bottle let me down

And let your memory come around

The one true friend I thought I'd found

Yeah, tonight the bottle let me down

Sure do

I've always had a bottle I could turn to

Oh, and lately I've been turnin' every day

But the wine don't take effect the way it used to

And I'm hurtin' in an old familiar way

Tonight the bottle let me down

And let your memory come around

The one true friend I thought I'd found

Tonight the bottle let me down

Yeah, tonight the bottle let me down
