Each night I leave the barroom when it's over. Not feeling any pain at closin' time. But tonight your memory found me much too sober. Couldn't drink enough to keep you off my mind.
Once in life, you'll meet someone who gives to you. The reason for that life is what some love can do. So now I'm armed for troubled time with all I knew.
Tonight the bottle let me down. It 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.
