California Wine

(álbum: California Wine - 1972)

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
