Lyrics

[00:16.57] Each night I leave the bar room when it's over
[00:24.05] Not feeling any pain at closing time
[00:31.63] But tonight your memory found me much too sober
[00:39.36] Couldn't drink enough to keep you off my mind
[00:46.96][01:09.89][02:03.25][02:26.28][02:33.72] Tonight the bottle let me down
[00:54.48][02:10.79] And let your memory come around
[01:02.13][02:18.40] The one true friend I thought I'd found
[01:32.65] I've always had a bottle I could turn to
[01:40.25] And lately I've been turning every day
[01:47.77] But the wine don't take effect the way it used to
[01:55.53] And I'm hurting in old familiar ways
