Each night I leave the barroom when it's over
Not feelin' any pain at closing time But tonight your memory found me much too
sober Couldn't drink enough to keep you off my mind
Tonight the bottle let me down And let your memory come around
The one true friend I thought I'd found
Tonight the bottle let me down
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 hurting in an old familiar way
Tonight the bottle let me down And let your memory come around
The one true friend I thought I'd found
Tonight the bottle let me down
Tonight the bottle let me down
