The Bottle Never Lets Me Down Songtext
von Sarah Shook & the Disarmers

Every day you tell me I′m a drunkard
And every night you lie awake and stew
I never claimed to be anything other, darling
'Cause the bottle never lets me down the way you do

Every night I sit ′til sun-up drinkin'
And every day I wait for night to fall
So I can clear the darkest mem'ries from my recollection
And hear no sounds and feel nothing at all


The bottle never lets me down
You won′t find it running round
In the darkest corners of this town
Away from me
No, I keep this bottle close in hand
It′s the only thing left that I got that I can
Make me feel the man I used to be

I never want to remember the joy you bought me
Oh, I how used to laugh, all of the things we'd do
I′ve forgotten all about the things that could be, darling
'Cause the bottle never lets me down the way you do

The bottle never lets me down
You won′t find it running round
In the darkest corners of this town
Away from me
No, I keep this bottle close in hand
It's the only thing left that I got that I can
Make me feel the man I used to be
Make me feel the man
Make me feel the man
Make me feel the man I used to be
