Lyrics
Eyes on wine feeling fine wrong and right took a flight
Had a drink and feeling brave I hope that I don’t misbehave
I put my eyes on wine and I went to the sky
Now I rely on wine every time I want to fly
Eyes on wine I’m the guy who has no fear and feels no pain
I’m the guy with all the pride and the one who has no shame
I put my eyes on wine and I went to the sky
Now I rely on wine every time I want to fly
For some of us it’s a crutch can’t get by without it
Not everyone’s afflicted but some become addicted
All I say is I curse the day I put my eyes on wine
Because that’s the day my evils all became justified
Just a sip crossed my lip then a glass then the bottle
Wine is sweet wine is scented it’s effect is so subtle
I put my eyes on wine and I went to the sky
Now I rely on wine every time I want to fly
