Tonight the Bottle Let Me Down

Each night I leave the bar room
When it's over
Not feeling any pain
At closing time
But tonight your memory found me
Much too sober
I couldn't drink enough to get you
Off my mind

Tonight the bottle
Let me down
It let your memories 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
But lately I've been turning
Every day
Now the drink don't take effect
The way it used to
I keep a-hurting in that old familiar way

Tonight the bottle
Let me down
It let your memories come around
The one true friend that I thought I'd found
Tonight the bottle
Let me down

Tonight the bottle
Let me down
It let your memories come around
The one true friend that I thought I'd found
Tonight the bottle
Let me down

Tonight the bottle
Let me down

I said tonight the bottle
Let me down
