"Bottle Let Me Down" by Waylon Jennings

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
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
[ steel - guitar ]
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
Tonight the bottle let me down...
[ guitar ]
Tonight the bottle let me down...
