L'Ecole Du Vin Presents The 27th Great Wine Seminar

We came out west together with a common desire
The fever we had migtha set the West Coast on fire
Two months later got trouble in mind
Oh my baby moved out and left me behind

But it's all right 'cause it's midnight
And I got two more bottles of wine
