The Bottle Let Me Down

[Verse 1]

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

Couldn't drink enough to keep you off my mind

[Verse 2]

I've always had a bottle I could turn to

And lately, I've been turning every day

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

And I'm hurting in an old familiar way

[Chorus]

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

Tonight, the bottle let me down

And let your memory come around

The one true friend I thought that I'd found

Tonight, the bottle let me down

Tonight, the bottle let me down
