Lyrics for Bottle Let Me Down

Tonight the bottle let down And let you memory come around The one true friend I thought I'd found Tonight the bottle let down I've always had a bottle I could turn to And lately I've been turning everyday But the wind don't take effect the way it used to I'm hurting in an old familiar way Tonight the bottle let down And let you memory come around The one true friend I thought I'd found Tonight the bottle let down Each night I leave the barroom when it's over Not feeling any pain at closing time But tonight your memory found me much too sober Can't drink enough to keep you off my mind Tonight the bottle let down And let you memory come around The one true friend I thought I'd found Tonight the bottle let down Tonight the bottle let down
