Wine & Crystal

(专辑： Concert For The Crickets - 2023)

I wanna be more stand by me
More crickets in the distance while the lightning bugs blink
Dog by my feet, breeze seventy degrees
On a porch swing sipping something stronger than tea
Shoot the bull with the stars, ones you've never seen
With the music sheets sprinkled in shimmering ink
Like neon so natural and loyal to me
I hope I hang around for someone else to see

Like wine and crystal, I hope that's how I age
Leave a stain that never seems to go away
See my heart as a barrel full of grapes
When I'm gone I hope someone appreciates
The taste I made for country, yeah, it's simple
I wanna be your wine and crystal
I wanna be your wine and crystal

I guess I'm different than I used to be
I ain't a wild young gun, I got seventeen years
Of shifting these gears and shedding these tears
I got water in my wine, no more drops in here
I done drank every sorrow, I done broke a couple hearts
Now I piece together love like a blood-stained art
When the sunshine peaks it's a beautiful sight
And your grace is as pure as an infrared light

Like wine and crystal, I hope that's how I age
Leave a stain that never seems to go away
See my heart as a barrel full of grapes
When I'm gone I hope someone appreciates
The taste I made for country, yeah, it's simple
I wanna be your wine and crystal
I wanna be your wine and crystal

Heart been injured, battle scars linger
Try to cut me down like my legs made of timber
I give 'em they splinters, next time they'll remember
That I had the juice like my blood from a vineyard

Like wine and crystal, I hope that's how I age
Leave a stain that never seems to go away
See my heart as a barrel full of grapes
When I'm gone I hope someone appreciates
The taste I made for country, yeah, it's simple
I wanna be your wine and crystal
