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

[Verse 2]
I've always had a bottle I could turn to
And lately, I've been turning every day
But the wine don't take effect the way that it used to
And I'm hurting in an old familiar way

[Chorus]
Tonight, the bottle let me down
And let your memory come around
The one true friend I thought I'd found
Tonight, the bottle let me down

Tonight, the bottle let me down
And let your memory come around
The one true friend I thought that I'd found
Tonight, the bottle let me down
Tonight, the bottle let me down

LeAnn Rimes

Margaret LeAnn Rimes Cibrian (August 28, 1982) is a country singer who uses the stage name LeAnn Rimes. Born in Jackson, Mississippi she started performing at age 7 and had become a country star by age 13. Known for her vocals, many say she sounds a lot like Patsy Cline.

Rimes is a two-time Grammy winner and remains active in music. She’s gone through some troubles in the past few years, perhaps the result of such a young start in the business of music.
