I'm out of my mind with worry you been out all night again
But don't tell me and I won't ask where in the world have you been
I don't even wanna know what you been up to
Oh but if fingerprints showed up on skin wonder who's I'd find on you
I'm leaving town tomorrow don't know how long I'll be gone
I know you and the baby will have to work it out all alone
So won't you write me all this on your mind things you do places you go
Write it all in put it all in cause I want to know
If your side of the bed gets lonesome where you sleep every night
And if you miss my lips that kissed you and my arms that held you tight
And if you wake up every morning loving me missing me so
Write it all in put it all in cause I want to know
Every boy and every girl will feel the arms of love
Every crying face can wear a smile again
People pulling all together loving helping one another
Everybody in the whole world holding hands
Oh how green will grow the grass love can rule the world at last
Like a child can understand everybody in the whole world holding hands
The last thing I remember bout last night
Was bein' tossed out in the yard
I don't remember exactly the things I said
But I wish you wouldn't took it so hard
I wanna tell you now and I know and I know you're gonna find
There ain't nothing no better sweeter or wetter
Than they grow on the California Grapevine
Well the mission's closed up for evening
Salvation Army's locked up tight
I been thinkin' sbout sluggin' that guy next to me
So I can get locked up for the night
I wanna tell you now bartender you're gonna find
There ain't nothing no better sweeter or wetter
Than they grow on the California Grapevine
The State Pol' he's out here to get me
Lord I ain't never seen a man that size
And I know he ain't gonna do no messing around
I can tell by the look in his eyes
Hey hey bartender it's a night to crack your mind
There ain't nothing no better sweeter or wetter
Than they grow on the California Grapevine
Well I woke up early this morning sleepin' on that drunk tank floor
Was gonna call mama come go my bell for it'd be hard as some before
I wanna tell you now you better save my place in line
There ain't nothing no better sweeter or wetter
Than they grow on the California Grapevine
There ain't nothing no better sweeter or wetter
Than they grow on the California Grapevine
There ain't nothing no better sweeter or wetter
Than they grow on the California Grapevine
