Introduction

Imagine you’re on a long road trip, the kind where the miles seem endless, and the horizon stretches out in front of you like a promise of freedom. “Two More Bottles of Wine” by Sheryl Crow and Vince Gill is the perfect soundtrack for such a journey.

From the moment you hear the first strum of the guitar, you’re hooked. The song tells a story of resilience and embracing the ups and downs of life with a touch of humor and a whole lot of heart. It captures the essence of picking yourself up after a setback, brushing off the dust, and keeping on with a smile and a song.

The beauty of “Two More Bottles of Wine” lies in its simplicity and relatability. It’s a song about everyday struggles, love, and the little moments that make life worth living. It’s about finding joy in the journey, no matter how bumpy the road might get.

Crow and Gill’s rendition adds a contemporary twist while honoring the song’s roots, making it both nostalgic and fresh. It’s the kind of song that makes you want to roll down the windows, turn up the volume, and sing along at the top of your lungs.

So, next time you’re feeling down or just in need of a musical companion, grab a glass (or two) of your favorite wine, and let Sheryl Crow and Vince Gill remind you that no matter what, the journey is always worth it.

Lyrics

We came out west together with a common desire
The fever we had might′ve set the west coast on fire
Two months later got trouble in mind
Oh my baby moved out and left me behind
But it’s all right ′cause it’s midnight
And I got two more bottles of wine
The way he left sure turned my head around
Seemed like overnight she just up and put me down
Ain’t gonna let it bother me today
I been workin′ and I′m too tired anyway
But it’s all right ′cause it’s midnight
And I got two more bottles of wine
I′m sixteen hundred miles from the people I know
I’ve been doin′ all I can but opportunity sure come slow
Well I’d be in the sun all day
But I’m sweepin′ out a warehouse in west L.A.
But it′s all right ’cause it′s midnight
And I got two more bottles of wine
I’m sixteen hundred miles from the people I know
I′ve been doin’ all I can but opportunity sure come slow
Well I′d be in the sun all day
But I’m sweepin’ out a warehouse in west L.A.
But it′s all right ′cause it’s midnight
And I got two more bottles of wine
Yes, it′s all right ’cause it′s midnight
And I got two more bottles of wine
Yes, it’s all right ′cause it’s midnight
And I got two more bottles of wine

HE SURVIVED TWO HEART ATTACKS, A TRIPLE BYPASS, AND A LIFE OF NASCAR RACING — BUT ON DECEMBER 8, 1982, MARTY ROBBINS’ BORROWED TIME FINALLY RAN OUT.Country music legend Marty Robbins passed away on December 8, 1982, at St. Thomas Hospital in Nashville, Tennessee. He was just 57 years old. His death came six days after an eight-hour quadruple bypass surgery, following a massive heart attack on December 2 — the fourth of his life.In his final days, Robbins was kept alive by life-support systems while his family kept vigil. He had lived with cardiovascular disease since 1969 and was one of the earliest patients ever to receive bypass surgery. Just two months before his death, in October 1982, he had been inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame — a final honor he was able to witness.Earlier that same year, Robbins walked into a Nashville studio for what would become his last major recording session. He laid down the title track for a Clint Eastwood film about a fading country singer making one last record before time ran out — a role Robbins also played on screen, in his final film appearance. The song became a posthumous Top 10 hit, the haunting closing chapter of a career that produced 16 number-one country singles and the first Grammy ever awarded to a country song.

“NO ONE SINGS PAIN LIKE Merle Haggard” — and by 1980, he had already lived every word of it. When Back to the Barrooms arrived that year, it wasn’t sold as a revival or a reinvention. It sounded like a man returning to the place where his stories were born. Haggard had spent years turning prison time, broken homes, and hard choices into songs like “Mama Tried” and “Sing Me Back Home,” and by 1980 his voice no longer argued with the past — it carried it. Nashville didn’t hear a comeback. It heard proof. Proof that pain didn’t need polishing, only honesty. Some say Merle didn’t write to escape his history — he wrote to keep it breathing. And maybe that’s what really changed by 1980: the outlaw wasn’t running anymore. He was standing still, letting country music look straight at what it felt like to survive yourself.

SOME CALLED HIM A COWBOY — MARTY CALLED IT A STORY. They say every great country song begins with a face you can’t forget — and for Marty Robbins, it was never just one woman, one gunfight, or one lonely road. It was the moment when a voice met a memory and decided not to let go. Rumor has it, the idea for one of his ballads came after midnight in a quiet Texas café. Marty sat alone with black coffee, watching a waitress wipe down empty tables. Outside, a freight train howled through the dark like it was carrying someone else’s goodbye. “That sound,” he told a friend, “that’s not a train. That’s a man leaving something behind.” And just like that, a song was born. When his western tales reached the radio, they weren’t just hits — they were moving pictures. Gunfighters who knew they wouldn’t win. Lovers who stayed too long. Men who chose honor even when it hurt. Marty didn’t sing like he was performing. He sang like he was remembering. Behind the drama, though, was something simple and human: he wrote about people who made the wrong choice for the right reason. And maybe that’s why his songs still ride through late-night radios and movie endings — like an old cowboy who never really left town.Have you ever heard a Marty Robbins song and felt like it already knew the ending of your own story?

MILLIONS EVENTUALLY KNEW MERLE HAGGARD THROUGH “MAMA TRIED.” BUT ON HIS 21ST BIRTHDAY, HE WAS SITTING IN SOLITARY CONFINEMENT — PROVING JUST HOW HARD HIS MOTHER HAD TRIED. Merle was nine when his father died, leaving his mother, Flossie, to work and raise a boy already beginning to drift. She encouraged his music and tried to keep him away from trouble, but after years of running away, arrests, and escape attempts, Merle entered San Quentin at 20. Then came his 21st birthday. Caught drinking prison-made beer, he spent several days alone near death row with a Bible and a blanket. Years later, Merle turned that into “Mama Tried.” He never blamed the woman who raised him. The song made the opposite clear: she had done everything she could, but some lessons refused to be learned until a locked door finally closed. Flossie lived until 1984 — long enough to watch her one and only rebel child become one of the most respected songwriters in America. Millions eventually sang along with Merle’s confession. But behind every word stood a mother who had already lived through the story.

NBC BANNED IT. THE GRAND OLE OPRY REFUSED TO LET HER SING IT. IT WENT TO NO. 1 ANYWAY—AND A 33-YEAR-OLD MOTHER OF THREE BECAME COUNTRY MUSIC’S FIRST FEMALE SUPERSTAR. In 1952, Hank Thompson was ruling the country chart with “The Wild Side of Life,” a song lamenting a woman who left domestic life for the honky-tonks. Then Kitty Wells recorded the answer. Using the same familiar melody, she sang that women were not solely responsible for broken homes. Married men who acted single had helped create those “honky tonk angels,” too. NBC considered the message too suggestive. The BBC banned the record, and Kitty was initially forbidden from singing it on the Grand Ole Opry’s network broadcast. The audience refused to let the song disappear. “It Wasn’t God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels” spent six weeks at No. 1, making Kitty the first solo woman ever to top Billboard’s country chart. She had almost left music to raise her three children. She recorded the song largely for the $125 session fee and never expected it to become a hit. “Women never had hit records in those days,” she later said. “Very few of them even recorded. I couldn’t believe it happened.” The success forced Nashville to reconsider whether women could sell records and headline shows. The door opened wider for Patsy Cline, Loretta Lynn, Tammy Wynette, Dolly Parton and every woman who wanted to tell the other side of a country song. Kitty remained married to Johnnie Wright for nearly 74 years and never carried herself like royalty. But country music knew exactly what she was. She was its first Queen.

JOHNNY CASH’S OWN DRUMMER SAID THE ALBUM “WOULDN’T SELL ENOUGH TO PAY FOR THE TAPE.” CASH WALKED THROUGH THE GATES AND RECORDED IT ANYWAY. By early 1968, Johnny Cash’s career was slipping. Years of personal struggles had damaged his health, brought repeated legal trouble, and left many people wondering whether his best days were behind him. He did not plan his return inside a stadium or television studio. On January 13, 1968, Cash entered Folsom State Prison in California and performed two shows for men serving long sentences. Officers watched from the walkways above as Cash, dressed in black and already soaked with sweat, sang about regret, loneliness, and the longing to be free. He never treated the men in front of him like a forgotten audience. He sang directly to them. The night before the concert, a minister gave Cash a recording of “Greystone Chapel,” written by Glen Sherley, a man living inside Folsom. The song was about the small chapel within the prison walls and the hope Sherley had found there. Cash took the recording back to his hotel, wrote down the words, and learned the song with his band. The following day, Sherley sat near the front without knowing what Cash had planned. Then Johnny announced his name to the entire room and began singing the song Sherley had written. The hall erupted. For a few minutes, a man the outside world barely knew heard hundreds of voices celebrating something he had created. The album went on to sell millions of copies, revive Cash’s career, and strengthen his commitment to improving conditions for incarcerated people. Johnny Cash walked through those gates to sing for men society had stopped listening to. Their voices followed him back out—and somehow, his own voice returned with them.

THE BUS THAT STOOD GUARD AT HIS FUNERAL HAD A TRAIN HORN BOLTED TO THE FRONT. Merle Haggard named every tour bus he owned the same thing: the Super Chief. He started doing it in the early 1980s and never stopped. The name came from a train. The Santa Fe Super Chief ran from Chicago to Los Angeles between 1936 and 1971 — the first all-Pullman diesel streamliner in America, so favored by Hollywood that the railroad called it the Train of the Stars. A boy growing up in a converted boxcar outside Bakersfield would have known exactly what that train meant. So he built his bus to look like it. Santa Fe insignia stitched across nearly every surface. A master bedroom in the back, four bunks for the band. And a genuine train horn pulled from the old Santa Fe Railway, with the pull handle installed right beside the front passenger seat — where Merle spent hours riding between shows, watching the road come at him. On April 9, 2016, the Super Chief was parked at the edge of a clover pasture in Palo Cedro, turned sideways to block the wind off the mourners. The boy from the boxcar never did stop chasing that train. At the end, it stood beside him.
