Two More Bottles of Wine
 |
"Two More Bottles of Wine" is a song written by Delbert McClinton, which was most famously recorded in 1978, by Emmylou Harris, whose recording topped the U.S. country singles charts becoming her third number one [1]. In the song, the narrator moves with his/her lover to Los Angeles, 1,600 miles away from their home, in search of success, but the lover abruptly leaves. The narrator is then left to fend for him/herself, eventually working in a menial job "sweeping out a warehouse in West L.A.", but eventually concludes it is all right because he/she still has "two more bottles of wine".
Performed by Harris as a honky tonk stomper, the single became her third chart topper in early 1978.
A cover was recorded by Martina McBride on her 1995 album Wild Angels.
