Bottle Let Me Down Lyrics - Porter Wagoner

Tonight the bottle let me down 

I've always had a bottle that 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 a hurtin' in an old familiar way 

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 

Each night I leave the barroom when it's over not feeling any pain at closing time 

But tonight your mem'ry found me much too sober 

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

Tonight the bottle, 

Tonight the bottle let me down
