[1] Each night I leave the bar room when it's over
Not feeling any pain at closing [5] time
But tonight your memory found me much too sober
Couldn't drink enough to keep you off my [1] mind

[1] Tonight the bottle let me down
And let your memory come a-[5]-round
The one true friend I thought I'd found
Tonight the bottle let me [1] 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 an old familiar way
