 [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.
