The Bottle Let Me Down

Each night I leave the barroom when it's over

Not feelin' any pain at closing time

But tonight your memory found me, much to sober

Couldn't drink enough to keep you off my mind.

Tonight the bottle let me down

And let your memories come around

The one true friend I thought I've found

Tonight the bottle let me down.

I've always had a bottle I could turn to

And lately I've been turning every day

That the wine don't take a laugh the way it used to do

Now I'm hurtin' an open million way.

Oo tonight the bottle let me down

And let your memories come around

The one true friend I thought I've found

Tonight the bottle let me down

Tonight the bottle let me down.
