Tonight the Bottle Let Me Down Lyrics

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
