Harris Emmylou - Bottle Let Me Down lyrics

rate me

Tonight the bottle let me down<br />

And let your memory come 'round<br />

The one true friend I thought I'd found<br />

Tonight the bottle let me down<br />

<br />

I've always had a bottle I could turn to<br />

And lately I've been turning everyday<br />

But the wine don't take effect the way it used to<br />

I'm hurting in an old familiar way<br />

<br />

Tonight the bottle let me down<br />

And let your memory come 'round<br />

The one true friend I thought I'd found<br />

Tonight the bottle let me down<br />

<br />

Each night I leave the barroom when it's over<br />

Not feeling any pain at closing time<br />

But tonight your memory found me much to sober<br />

Can't drink enough to keep you off my mind<br />

<br />

Tonight the bottle let me down<br />

And let your memory come 'round<br />

The one true friend I thought I'd found<br />

Tonight the bottle let me down<br />

Tonight the bottle let me down
