Bottle Let Me Down Lyrics - Del Reeves

Each night I leave the barroom when it's over 

Not feeling any pain at closin' 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 everyday 

But the wine don't take effect the way it used to 

And I'm hurtin' 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
