sunset and wine

i left the old farm down in texas

and bummed all around for a time

then one day i found myself staring

at a sign that read sunset and wine. the big cars and the beautiful women

put beautiful thoughts in my mind

i decided to be a great actor

on the corner of sunset and wine. then a man with a cigar approached me

and he put his face right to mine

and declared a great star hit this cover

on the corner of sunset and wine. well

i thought he was right for a while

for the band seemed to thrill with each line

and they put my name in the sidewalk

near the corner of sunset and wine. now six wives and six divorces later

i'm down to one very thin dime

and i wish i was back home in texas

and i'd never seen sunset and wine. i wish i'd never seen sunset and wine.
