Waylon Jennings - Tonight The Bottle Let Me Down lyrics

[Verse 1:] Each night I leave the barroom when it's over Not feeling any pain at closin' time But tonight your mem'ry found me much too sober I couldn't drink enough to get you off my mind [Chorus:] Tonight the bottle let me down Let your mem'ry come around The one true friend that I thought I'd found Tonight the bottle let me down [Verse 2:] I've always had a bottle I could turn to Lately I've been turning every day But the booze don't take effect the way it used to I keep a hurtin' in an old familiar way [Chorus][x2]
