| I left the old farm down in Texas
|
| And bummed all around for a time
|
| Then one day I found myself staring
|
| At a sign that read Sunset and Vine
|
| The big cars and the beautiful women
|
| Put beautiful thoughts in my mind
|
| I decided to be a great actor
|
| On the corner of Sunset and Vine
|
| Then a man with a cigar approached me
|
| And he put his face right to mine
|
| And declared a great star hit this cover
|
| On the corner of Sunset and Vine
|
| Well, I thought he was right for a while
|
| For the band seemed to thrill with each line
|
| And they put my name in the sidewalk
|
| Near the corner of Sunset and Vine
|
| Now six wives and six divorces later
|
| I’m down to one very thin dime
|
| And I wish I was back home in Texas
|
| And I’d never seen Sunset and Wine
|
| I wish I’d never seen Sunset and Vine |
