I got up again this morning to face another day, but I don’t need no one too tell me it`s my fault she went away. For I have been living with her memory, one I know is here to stay, because it don`t matter how much I drink I can`t chase it away. California grape little fruit of the vine take away her memory or I will lose my mind. Lord I should have known that from life there is no escape, not even in a bottle of this California grape, No not even in a bottle of this California grape, Now here I sit once again up on this old bar stool laughing and joking just a picture of a fool, watching the bartender as he fills up my glass. Ah but you know things might have been different if I had walked on past. California grape little fruit of the vine take away her memory or I will lose my mind. Lord I should have known that from life there is no escape not even in a bottle of this California grape. No not even in a bottle of this California grape. ( Instrumental lead in for song ) No not even in a bottle of this California Grape. I wrote this song with Merle Haggard in mind
