Tonight The Bottle Let Me Down
[Verse 1:]
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

[Chorus:]
Tonight the bottle let me down
Let your mem'ry come around
The one true friend that I thought I'd found
Tonight the bottle let me down

[Verse 2:]
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

[Chorus][x2]
