The Bottle Let Me Down

Each night I leave the barroom when it’s over

Not feeling any pain at closing time

But tonight you memory found me much to sober

Couldn’t drink enough to keep you off my mind

Tonight the bottle let down

And let you memory come around

The one true friend I thought I’d found

Tonight the bottle let down

I’ve always had a bottle I could turn to

And lately I’ve been turning everyday

But the wind don’t take effect the way it used to

And I’m hurting in an old familiar way

Tonight the bottle let down

And let you memory come around

The one true friend I thought I’d found

Tonight the bottle let down
