Tonight the Bottle Let Me Down

Each night I leave the barroom when it's over not feeling any pain at closin' time

But tonight your mem'ry found me much too sober

I couldn't drink enough to get you off my mind

Tonight the bottle let me down let your memory come around

The one true friend that I thought I'd found tonight the bottle let me down

I've always had a bottle I could turn to lately I've been turning every day

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

I keep a hurtin' in an old familiar way

Tonight the bottle let me down

Tonight the bottle let me down
