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
