Chardonnay (Long Version)

Written by：Scott Miller

I was feeling the weight of the atmosphere

And those I know aren't looking overjoyed I'm here

Daughters about fourteen order wine

And Chardonnay shows what she knows when she decides

Couldn't tell you now what clicked inside

Or why that's what I call her

Hardly floored but still reminded

That I once could want it all all

I don't know any that age who've died of greed

And so was I once letting be and letting bleed

I believe David Carradine changed a lot

Eastern wisdom Kunging Fu on western thought

But was always missing that same spot

Or knew but wouldn't say

A lot of life's best things are

Further than a zen proverb away

Hey Chardonnay Chardonnay oh Chardonnay

Hey Chardonnay Chardonnay oh Chardonnay

They can always put you down some way

But I can't see you being saved for one more rainy day

It was easy to think at the U Canteen

Drunk and small time finishing the quarter mean

That a lot of the structure would have to fall

Haves and have nots polarized at facing walls

I don't think I believed it all

But needed just the same

A way to deal with being shut out

Of the decent peoples' game

Hey Chardonnay Chardonnay oh Chardonnay

Hey Chardonnay Chardonnay oh Chardonnay

Well the company found me out combing the streets

And sure I signed on legs across the vacant seats

But I found out quick where I really stood

Love me love nots sounding off the neighborhood

Chardonnay how I've done battle girl

To come this far away

There's not a world where I can talk to you

But I know what I'd say

Hey Chardonnay Chardonnay oh Chardonnay

Hey Chardonnay Chardonnay oh Chardonnay

They can always put you down some way

But I can't see you being saved for one more rainy day

Well I ended up down on the dispatch line

Hugs and headaches all my problems solely mine

Don't you laugh when I talk about loyalty

When it's all you'll

Have and one day it might be

I will look inside but you won't see

A glum look on my face

I may not use these words my whole life

But I keep them just in case

Well it's harder each night gonna take a miracle

Gonna take Ernst Dali and di Chirico

Gonna recharge cranio mechanical

Turning me right back into an animal oh

Hey Chardonnay Chardonnay oh Chardonnay

Hey Chardonnay Chardonnay oh Chardonnay

They can always put you down some way

But I can't see you being saved for one more rainy day

It's a lonelier look to the finer things

And Chardonnay sees what she needs when freedom rings

If the fog ever lifts on this final town

We may or may not find we'll want to stand it's ground

It's accomplishments worn badly down

The chief exec's in jail

If it's a dollar higher this time

I think no one's paying bail

Oh oh oh

Hey Chardonnay Chardonnay oh Chardonnay

Hey Chardonnay Chardonnay oh Chardonnay

Hey Chardonnay Chardonnay oh Chardonnay

Hey Chardonnay Chardonnay

Chardonnay oh Chardonnay

Hey Chardonnay Chardonnay oh Chardonnay

Hey Chardonnay Chardonnay oh Chardonnay
