Tonight the bottle let me down
It let your memory come around
The one true friend I thought I`d found
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 can`t drink enough to keep you off my mind
Tonight the bottle let me down
It let your memory come around
The one true friend I thought I`d found
Tonight the bottle let me down
--- Instrumental ---
I`ve always had a bottle I could turn to
And lately I`ve been turnin` every day
But the wine don`t take effect the way it used to
Well, I`m hurtin` in old familiar ways
Tonight the bottle let me down
It let your memory come around
The one true friend I thought I`d found
Tonight the bottle let me down
Yeah, Tonight the bottle let me down...
