Heart of Wine

You dumped me out in New Orleans
I hitched a ride to Mourning Dove
I tracked you down in New York
And we renewed our love
You let me in and filled my cup
With some dumb brand of cheap vermouth
I wonder what was left for us
I knew it wasn’t youth
Heart of Wine You’re so unkind
At playin' tricks With my old mind
Heart of grain In killin' rain
The years are gone but days remain
If I was 25 again
In 6 years I’d be 31
Ridin' the rails to San Antone
Thinkin' it was fun
Once I was a college boy
With wisdom at my feet
My white collar, it faded blue
And I gave up my seat.
Heart of Wine You’re so unkind
At playin' tricks With my old mind
Heart of grain In killin' rain
The years are gone but days remain
