california wine

a cold december day

i saw her on the highway

i said i'm headed west

she said your going my way

then she got in with me

somewhere in tennessee

she snuggled up close to me

she kissed me and then she said

i want you to take me to my california wine

she said i got to get back where the bright sunshine

and then she turned my head around like california wine

and then she smiled at me and put her hand in mine

and poured me a cup of wine

sweet california wine

she said she thumbed all day

been in west virginia

she said i'll make a trade

for all the love that's in ya

i can sit and talk to you

share a cup of wine or two

and i could be good to you

she kissed me and then she said

i want you to take me to my california wine

she said i got to get back where the bright sunshine

and then she turned my head around like california wine

then she smiled at me and put her hand in mine

and poured another cup of wine

sweet california wine

we chased a fading sun

and watched the shadows falling

and as we sipped the wine

i heard california calling

and she was good my dear

and it became very clear

i shifted into second gear

i kissed her and then i said

i'm gonna take you to the california wine

i said we got to get back where the bright sunshine

and then she turned my head around like california wine

and then she smiled at me and put her hand in mine

and poured another cup of wine

sweet california wine
