[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.
