You dumped me out in New Orleans
I hitched a ride to Morning 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
