Dust on the Bottle

Album: Out with a Bang (1995)

  • Creole Williams lived down a dirt road
    He made homemade wine like nobody I know
    I dropped by one Friday night and said, "Can you help me, Creole?
    I got a little girl waitin' on me and I, I wanna treat her right"
    He said, "I got what you need, son" as we stepped down in the cellar
    He reached through the cobwebs as he turned on the light and said

    There might be a little dust on the bottle
    But don't let it fool ya about what's inside
    There might be a little dust on the bottle
    But it's one of those things that gets sweeter with time

    You were sittin' in the porch swing as I pulled up the driveway
    My ol' heart was racing as you climbed inside
    You slid over real close as we drove down to the lake road
    Watched the sun fade in that big red sky

    I reached under the front seat and said, "Now here's something special
    It's just been waiting for a night like tonight"

    But there might be a little dust on the bottle
    But don't let it fool ya about what's inside
    There might be a little dust on the bottle
    But it's one of those things that gets sweeter with time

    You're still with me and we've made some memories
    After all these years, there's one thing I've found
    Some say good love, well, it's like a fine wine
    It keeps getting better as the days go by

    But there might be a little dust on the bottle
    But don't let it fool ya about what's inside
    There might be a little dust on the bottle
    Well, it's one of those things that gets sweeter with time

    There might be a little dust on the bottle
    But don't let it fool ya about what's inside
    There might be a little dust on the bottle
    Well, it's one of those things that gets sweeter with time

    Don't let it fool ya Writer/s: David Lee Murphy
