lyrics

The sun danced across
The frozen fog in the sky
Crunch colors were whirling
He never made lady-luck cry
Death Valley Scotty was a sun-dried
Prospector of souls
Making haste slowly,
He came to see what can be sold
 
Up in the hills there is gold
Let’s see what can sold
 
With a white felt hat and a red neck tie
A voice a sweet as Honey
Howdy y’all he would sing
With a wink and a line
 
Gonna get pretty lonesome
Up at the grapevine
 
From time to time you could hear it
If you listened very well
The wind had a story
A burning story to tell
 
Leaning, leaning,
Safe and secure from all alarm
Leaning, leaning
on the everlasting arm
 
The greatest poet who ever rode
The gal who wrote the book of Job
He said, the great poet who ever rode
Was the gal who wrote the book of Job
 
And he said, don’t keep pouring
New wine into old skins
 
Longer than most
He’s been in the headlines
He said, your gold pan is
Gonna stay thin
If you keep on renting your time
 
So the break the bread
and just keep sipping
On his wine
 
Gonna get pretty lonesome
Up at the grapevine
 
And he said, good luck to you all
Till your end

Again and Again and Again
Pass that wine onto your friend
