I left the old farm down in Texas   And bummed all around for a time   Then one day I found myself staring   At a sign that read Sunset and Vine      The big cars and the beautiful women   Put beautiful thoughts in my mind   I decided to be a great actor   On the corner of Sunset and Vine      Then a man with a cigar approached me   And he put his face right to mine   And declared a great star hit this cover   On the corner of Sunset and Vine      Well, I thought he was right for a while   For the band seemed to thrill with each line   And they put my name in the sidewalk   Near the corner of Sunset and Vine      Now six wives and six divorces later   I'm down to one very thin dime   And I wish I was back home in Texas   And I'd never seen Sunset and Wine      I wish I'd never seen Sunset and Vine
