lyrics

Wine Country
©2012 Bennett John Neuhauser. All rights reserved. BMI

It’s been raining in this old town / On and off since mid July
My pick-up’s slowly rusting / And mister, so am I
Been working so hard lately / Feels like I’m doin’ five to ten
And I haven’t tasted romance / Since I can’t remember when

Just wish I could end this yearning / With another bottle of beer
But even fine Kentucky bourbon / Has lost all of its cheer
I’ve got a thirst for someplace new / Where the sun shines near and far
And they say nothing soothes an aching heart / Like a glass of pinot noir

[CHORUS]:
I want to go to Wine Country / See an old friend I know there
I want to go to Wine Country / Smell the sunshine in her hair
I want to go to Wine Country / Look out at the sea
And raise a glass / To things that last
And things that might never be

That summer in Sonoma / Is burned into my mind
She was working at the vineyard / Tending her daddy’s vines
A native Californian /A vintage rather rare
I met her at a tasting / And I knew right then and there
I had to taste her kisses sweet / And live just for the day
Make love ‘neath a harvest moon
And sip some chardonnay

[CHORUS]

[INSTRUMENTAL BREAK]

[BRIDGE]
I want to go to wine country / Above the foggy Golden Gate
I want to go to wine country / Oh, I hope I’m not too late
I want to go to wine country / Ride bareback on the beach
Stay up till dawn / Drinkin’ Sauvignon
And find heaven’s in our reach

[REPEAT CHORUS 2X AND OUT]
