Two More Bottles of Wine

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Two More Bottles of Wine" is a song written by Delbert McClinton, which was most famously recorded by Emmylou Harris, whose recording topped the U.S. country singles charts in 1978. In the song, the narrator moves with his/her lover to Los Angeles, 1,600 miles away from their home, in search of success, but the lover abruptly leaves. The narrator is then left to fend for him/herself, eventually working in a menial job "sweeping out a warehouse in West L.A.", but eventually concludes it's all right because he/she still has "two more bottles of wine".

Performed by Harris as a honky tonk stomper, the single became her third chart topper in early 1978.
