Bottle Let Me Down Lyrics - Ernest Tubb

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 

I couldn't drink enough to get you off my mind 

Tonight the bottle let me down and let your mem'ry 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 turnin' every day 

But the wine will take effect the way it used to and I'm hurtin' in an old familiar way 

Tonight the bottle let me down... 

Yes tonight the bottle let me down
