Tonight the bottle let me down, |
|
And left your memory come around; |
|
The one true friend |
|
I thought |
|
I'd found, |
|
Tonight the bottle let me down. |
|
Each night |
|
I leave the bar room when it's over, |
|
Not feeling any pain at closing time; |
|
But tonight your memory found me much too sober, |
|
I couldn't drink enough to keep you off my mind. |
|
Tonight the bottle let me down, |
|
And left your memory 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 don't take effect the way it used to, |
|
And I'm hurtin' in an old familiar ways. |
|
Tonight the bottle let me down, |
|
And left your memory come around; |
|
The one true friend |
|
I thought |
|
I'd found, |
|
Tonight the bottle let me down. |
|
Tonight the bottle let me down... |
