Upchurch Wine & Crystal Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I wanna be more Stand by Me
More crickets in the distance while the lightnin' bugs blink
Dog by my feet, breeze seventy degrees
On a porch swing, sippin' somethin' 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

[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
I guess I'm different than I used to be
Ain't a wild young gun, I got seventeen years
Of shiftin' these gears and sheddin' 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

[Chorus]
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

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

[Chorus]
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
