We came out West together with a common desire The fever we had might a set the West Coast on fire Two months later got a troublin' mind Maggie moved out and left me behind But it's all right 'cause it's midnight I got two more bottles of wine The way she left sure turned my head around Seemed like overnight she just up and put me down Ain't gonna let it bother me today I've been workin' and I'm too tired anyway But it's all right 'cause it's midnight And I got two more bottles of wine I'm sixteen hundred miles from the people I know Been doin' all I can but opportunity sure comes slow Thought I'd be a star by today But I'm sleepin' in a warehouse in West L.A. But it's all right 'cause it's midnight And I got two more bottles of wine Sixteen hundred miles from the people I know Been doin' all I can but opportunity sure comes slow Thought I'd be a star by today But I'm sleepin' in a warehouse in West L.A. But it's all right 'cause it's midnight I got two more bottles of wine Yes, it's all right 'cause it's midnight I got two more bottles of wine Yes, it's all right 'cause it's midnight I got two more bottles of wine
