Freddie Hart - California Grapevine Lyrics

Well I was sittin' on a barstool drinkin' in a honky tonk way downtown

My money's all gone been here so long don't know why I keep hangin' around

I wanna tell you now bartender you're gonna find

There ain't nothing no better sweeter or wetter

Than they grow on the California Grapevine



The last thing I remember bout last night was bein' tossed out in the yard

I don't remember exactly the things I said but I wish you wouldn't took it so hard

I wanna tell you now and I know and I know you're gonna find

There ain't nothing no better...



Well the mission's closed up for evening Salvation Army's locked up tight

I been thinkin' bout sluggin' that guy next to me so I can get locked up for the night

I want to tell you now bartender...



The State Pol' he's out here to get me Lord I ain't never seen a man that size

And I know he ain't gonna do no messin' around I can tell by the look in his eyes

Hey hey bartender it's a night to pluck your mind

There ain't nothing no better...



Well I woke up early this morning sleepin' on that drunk tank floor

Was gonna call mama come go my bell for you'd heard that song before

I wanna pay you now you better save my place in line

There ain't nothing no better...

There ain't nothing no better...

There ain't nothing no better...
