Bottle Let Me Down lyrics

Each night I leave the barroom when it`s over

Not feeling any pain at closin` time

But tonight your mem`ry found me much too sober

Couldn`t drink enough to keep you off my mind



Tonight the bottle let me down and let your mem`ry come around

The one true friend I thought I`d found tonight the bottle let me down

[ steel - guitar ]

I`ve always had a bottle 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 hurtin` in an old familiar way



Tonight the bottle let me down...

Tonight the bottle let me down
