Tonight the Bottle Let Me Down Songtext
von The Mavericks

Well, each night I leave the barroom when it′s over
Not feelin' any pain at closing time
But tonight your memory found me much too sober
Well, I said I couldn′t drink enough to keep you off my mind

Well, tonight the bottle let me down
And let your memory hang around
But the one and only friend I thought I'd found
An' oh, well, and tonight the bottle let me down
Ah, hey


Well, each night I need a bottle I can turn to
Lately, baby, I′ve been turnin′ every day
But the wine don't take effect the way it used to
And I′m hurtin' in that old familiar way

Well, tonight the bottle let me down
And let your memory hang around
But the one and only friend I thought I′d found
An' oh, well, and tonight the bottle let me down

Yeah, but tonight, that the bottle let me down
And let your memory hang around
But the one and only friend I thought I′d found
An' oh, well, and tonight the bottle let me down

Yeah, m'tonight the bottle let me down
Yeah, well, tonight the bottle let me down
