(Tonight) The Bottle Let Me Down

Well, each night I leave the barroom when it's over

Not feeling any pain at closing time

But tonight your memory found me much too sober

Well, I said I couldn't drink enough to keep you off of

my mind

Tonight the bottle let me down

And let your memory hang around

But the one and only friend I thought I'd found

Well, tonight the bottle let me down

Well, each night I need a bottle I can turn to

Lately, baby, I've been turnin' every day

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

And I'm hurtin' in that old familiar way

Tonight the bottle let me down

And let your memory hang around

But the one and only friend I thought I'd found

Well, tonight the bottle let me down

Tonight the bottle let me down

And let your memory hang around

But the one and only friend I thought I'd found

Well, tonight the bottle let me down

Yeah, tonight the bottle let me down

Yeah, tonight the bottle let me down
