Tonight the bottle let me down Songtext / Lyric

Each night I leave the barrom when it´s over
Not feelin´ any pain at closing time
But tonight your memory found me, much to sober
Couldn´t drink enough to keep you off my mind.

Tonight the bottle let me down
And let your memories come around.
The one true friend I thought I´ve found
Tonight the bottle let me down.

I´ve always had a bottle I could turn too
And lately I´ve been turning ev´ry day.
That the wine don´t take a laugh the way it used to do
Now I´m hurtin´ an open million way.

Oh tonight the bottle...
