The Bottle Let Me Down
The bottle let me down
Since George ain't here, we'll do this for George
Two, along
Each night, I'd leave the barroom when it's over
Not feelin' anything that closin' time
But tonight, your memory found me much too sober
I couldn't drink enough to get you off my mind
Tonight, the bottle let me down
And let your memory hang around
The one true friend I'd thought I'd found
Tonight, the bottle let me down
I have always had a bottle I could turn to
And lately, I'd been turnin' to it everyday
But the wine don't tear your crack love
The way that it used to
Now I'm hurtin' in an old mill away-ay-ay
Tonight, the bottle let me down
And let your memory hang around
The one true friend I'd thought I'd found
Tonight, the bottle let me down
Tonight, the bottle let me down
Oh yeah
Since George ain't here, we'll do this for George
Two, along
Each night, I'd leave the barroom when it's over
Not feelin' anything that closin' time
But tonight, your memory found me much too sober
I couldn't drink enough to get you off my mind
Tonight, the bottle let me down
And let your memory hang around
The one true friend I'd thought I'd found
Tonight, the bottle let me down
I have always had a bottle I could turn to
And lately, I'd been turnin' to it everyday
But the wine don't tear your crack love
The way that it used to
Now I'm hurtin' in an old mill away-ay-ay
Tonight, the bottle let me down
And let your memory hang around
The one true friend I'd thought I'd found
Tonight, the bottle let me down
Tonight, the bottle let me down
Oh yeah
