(Delbert McClinton)
We came out west together with a common desire
The fever we had might-a set the west coast on fire
Two months later got a troublin' mind
'Cause my baby moved out and left me behind
But it's all right 'cause it's midnight and I got two more bottles of wine
Well, the way he left sure turned my head around
Seemed like over night he just up and put me down
Ain't gonna let it bother me today
'Cause I've been workin' and I'm too tired anyway
But it's all right 'cause it's midnight and I got two more bottles of wine
Well, I'm sixteen hundred miles from the people I know
I've been doin' what I can but opportunity sure comes slow
Thought I'd be a big star by today
But I've been sleepin' in a warehouse in West L.A.
But it's all right 'cause it's midnight and I got two more bottles of wine
Yes, it's all right 'cause it's midnight and I got two more bottles of wine
