Two More Bottles of Wine
Delbert McClinton, 1978· Songs Well-Known in America · p.347
D G D
We came out west together with a common desire
D A7
The fever we had might have set the west coast on fire.
D D7
Two months later got a troublin' mind,
G7
Oh, my baby moved out and left me behind.
Chorus:
D G
But it's all right, 'cause it's midnight
A7 D
And I got two more bottles of wine.
The way she left sure turned my head around
Seemed like overnight she up and put me down
Well, ain't gonna let it bother me today,
I've been workin' and I'm too tired anyway. (Chorus)
Well I'm sixteen hundred miles from the people I know
I've been doin' all I can but opportunity sure comes slow
Thought I'd be in the sun all day
But I'm sweeping out a warehouse in west LA. (Chorus)
(Instrumental)
I'm sixteen hundred miles from the people I know
I've been doin' all I can but opportunity sure comes slow
Thought I'd be in the sun all day
But I'm sweeping out a warehouse in west LA.
But it's all right, 'cause it's midnight and I got two more bottles of wine.
Yes, it's all right, 'cause it's midnight and I got two more bottles of wine.
[Outro]
