tonight the bottle let me down
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 I couldn't drink enough to get you off my mind Tonight the bottle let me down let your memory 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 lately I've been turning every day But the booze don't take effect the way it used to I keep a hurtin' in an old familiar way Tonight the bottle let me down  Tonight the bottle let me down
