Lyrics Tonight The Bottle Let Me Down - The Flying Burrito Brothers

Tonight The Bottle Let Me Down

Each night I leave the barroom 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 to
And lately I’ve been turning every day
That the wine don’t take a laugh the way it used to do
Now I’m hurtin' an open million way
Oo 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
Tonight the bottle let me down
