Tonight the Bottle Let Me Down Songtext
von Waylon Jennings

Each night I leave the barroom when it′s over
Not feelin' any pain at closin′ time
But tonight your memory found me much too sober
I couldn't drink enough to get you off of my mind
Tonight the bottle let me down
Let your memory come around
The one true friend that I thought I'd found
Tonight the bottle let me down
I′ve always had a bottle that I could turn to
Lately I′ve been turnin' every day But the booze don′t take effect the way it used to
I keep a-hurtin' in an old familiar way
Tonight the bottle let me down
Let your memory come around
The one true friend that I thought I′d found
Tonight the bottle let me down
Tonight the bottle let me down
Let your memory come around
The one true friend that I thought I'd found, tonight
