Each night I leave the barroom when it’s overNot feeling any pain at closin’ timeBut tonight your mem’ry found me much too soberI gouldn’t drink enough to give you off my mindTonight the bottle let me downAnd let your mem’ry come aroundThe one true friend I’ve thought I’d foundTonight the bottle let me down[ guitar – steel ]I’ve always had a bottle I could turn toAnd lately I’ve been turning every dayBut the wine don’t take effect the way it used toAnd I’m hurtin’ in an old familiar wayTonight the bottle let me down…Tonight the bottle let me down
