The Bottle That Pours the Wine written by:David Ball
Allen Shamblin
performed by David Ball on Starlite Lounge
[Intro]
D
D
1.I was heading for the bus
G
And another one night stand
D
He came up all starry eyed
A
With my picture in his hand
D
He said "Mister I know by heart
G
Every song you do
D
When I grow up I want to sing
A
And be just like you"
2.Then he asked me how I wrote those songs
Where do the words come from
I fumbled for an answer
But I could not think of one
Then I shook his hand as the driver said
"Load up it's time to leave"
And then on the bus I scribbled down
These thoughts that came to me
G A D
C.I'm just a bottle that pours the wine
D G A
A fragile vessel for melody and rhyme
D G D
Put me on a pedastal I'll fall and shatter every time
A
'Cause I'm just the bottle that pours the wine
3.Tonight we play another show
Down in San Antone
For all the folks that come to hear
I'll sing a brand new song
It'll tell you where I'm comin' from
More than anything
And I'm gonna give it all I've got
When I stand up there and sing
C.
