Sunset & Vine

I left the old farm down in Texas

And bummed all around for a time

Then one day I found myself starin'

At a sign that read Sunset and Vine

The big cars and 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 in mine

And declared the great star he discovered

On the corner of Sunset and Vine

He seemed all right for a while

For the fans seemed thrilled with each line

And they put my name in the sidewalks

Near the corner of Sunset and Vine

Now six wives and six divorces later

I'm down to my very last dime

And I wish I was back home in Texas

And I'd never seen Sunset and Vine

I wish I'd never seen Sunset and Vine
