Wine Women And Song Lyrics

Wine Women And Song lyrics

Wine, women, and song

I tried them all it did not take me long 

To figure I’d unlocked the door to happiness

I figured wrong with a capital "R"

All the baggage I brought wouldn’t fit in a mid-size car

That’s why I’m walking on eggshells down the Via Dolorosa 

Hasn’t got me any closer so far



Shacked up with a poet, found it wasn’t my department

Now I study the poetry of the studio apartment

Changing the catbox and baking the bread

I should have been paying the bills instead 

Of paying homage to an image drawn from somebody else’s head



Song, women, and wine

You can’t fool all the people all the time

But if you’re trying, if you’re looking, if you’re lucky


You can always fool a few and feel fine, 

Is the line between shame and dread

One grips the lungs one brains the head

But either one can crush, anyone can crush you



Once I dated an actor, she was working on a play

By opening night, we had nothing left to say

We hit the wall, it was not resilient

She said that she was hungrier than I was brilliant

And who the hell was I to disagree?

Didn’t you used to be someone who meant something to me?

Somebody who meant something to me

Someone who meant something to me

Wine, women, and song

I tried them all it did not take me long 

To figure I’d unlocked the door to happiness

I figured wrong
