In the soulful lament of Waylon Jennings, we find a man grappling with the betrayal of a once trusted ally. Each night, the barroom's closing time signaled the beginning of an escape from heartache, courtesy of his loyal liquid companion. But now, as the shadows of lost love grow clearer, he realizes that even his faithful bottle can't shield him from the sharp pangs of memory. It's a poignant portrait of a man who discovers that no amount of alcohol can truly drown the deep-seated sorrow etched in his heart. The bottle, once a refuge, let him down when he needed it most. #Heartache #Loneliness
Tonight the Bottle Let Me Down
Lyrics
Each night I leave the barroom when it's over not feeling any pain at closin' time
But tonight your mem'ry found me much too sober
I couldn't drink enough to get you off my mind
Tonight the bottle let me down let your memory come around
The one true friend that I thought I'd found tonight the bottle let me down
I've always had a bottle I could turn to lately I've been turning every day
But the booze don't take effect the way it used to
I keep a hurtin' in an old familiar way
Tonight the bottle let me down
Tonight the bottle let me down
