The Bottle Let Me Down

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

Not feeling any pain at closing time

But tonight your memory found me much too sober

I can't drink enough to keep you off my mind

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

I've always had a bottle I could turn to

And lately I've been turnin' everyday

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

Tonight the bottle let me down
