Not long ago you held our baby’s bottle
But the one you’re holding now’s a different kind
You just sit and wait to be somebody’s baby
And it all depends on who will buy the wine
Whoever sets 'em up and tips the waitress
Your kind of love just might as well be blind
You’ll never know whose lips you’ll soon be kissing
And it all depends on who will buy the wine
The kind of life you’re living since you’ve left me
I’m sure it’s not the life you thought you choosed
That honky tonky world is not so flashy
Bright lights and blues is all it really knows
Whoever sets 'em up and tips the waitress…
Shorty Lavender on fiddle, James Clayton Day on pedal steel, and the rest of Ray Price’s band in studio. Hargus on Piano. Ray Price on harmony and this is a Mount Rushmore song. Chisel it in stone. William Robert Mize a steel guitarist out of Kansas wrote this barroom anthem. Great stuff by Texan Charlie Walker. From Shannon Burns’ notes. My Little Bear was called to be with God’s great chorus. I miss her more than life. God tell My Shannon Marie I will love her for eternity.
Charlie was a great country music singer. Very interesting on "Country Family Reunion". One of the best"shuffle" songs. Billy Mize, the writer was one of the founders of the "Bakersfield Sound".
James Clayton Day on Pedal Steel, with Shorty Lavender on fiddle, and Billy Mize wrote this. He was a very instrumental in the Bakersfield sound. The Chief singing harmony.
