Bottle Let Me Down

Each night I leave the barroom when it's over
Not feeling any pain at closin' time
But tonight your memory found me much too sober
I couldn't drink enough to get 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' every day
But the wine will 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
Yes, tonight the bottle let me down
