the bottle let me down
Each night I leave the bar room when its over
Not feeling any pain at closing time
But tonight your memory found me much too sober
Couldnt drink enough to keep you off my mind
Tonight the bottle let me down
And let your memory come around
The one true friend I thought Id found
Tonight the bottle let me down
Ive always had a bottle I could turn to
And lately Ive been turning every day
But the wine dont take effect the way it used to
And Im hurting in old familiar ways
Tonight the bottle let me down
And let your memory come around
The one true friend I thought Id found
Tonight the bottle let me down
Tonight the bottle let me down
