Bottle Let Me Down - Emmylou Harris

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

Couldn’t drink enough to keep you off my mind

Tonight the bottle let me down

And let 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 old familiar ways

Tonight the bottle let me down

And let 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
