The Bottle Let Me Down lyrics

Each night I leave the bar room when it's over

Not feeling any pain at closing time

But tonight your memory left me much too sober

I couldn't drink enough to keep you off my mind

Tonight the bottle let me down

And let your memory come around

I don’t want to know the friend I thought I'd found

Tonight the bottle let me down

~ ~

I've always had a bottle that I could turn to

And lately I've been turning every day

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

And I'm hurting in old familiar ways

Eh, tonight the bottle let me down

And let your memory come around

I don’t want to know the friend I thought I'd found

Tonight the bottle let me down

Tonight the bottle let me down…
