Verse 1

Put a little chill on the grape

Sun sinkin’ slow through the back porch gate

Dogwoods bloom white down the lane

Fresh green peekin’ through the branches again

Boots kicked off, radio low

Day wore me out but the evenin’ moves slow

Warm sunset layin’ on my face

Spring finally found this old place

Verse 2

Kitchen light glowin’ through the screen

You hummin’ soft while the skillet sings

Smell of supper driftin’ through the door

Like every hard week’s worth it once more

I lean back in that old porch chair

Soft breeze runnin’ through your hair

You laugh when I hold that bottle high

Say “pour a little peace tonight”

Pre-Chorus

Ain’t every answer in a plan we make

Sometimes you just let the moment take

Chorus

Put a little chill on the grape

Let the day slide off our plate

No more runnin’, no more race

Just your smile in this quiet place

When the world runs hot and it’s more than we can take

Put a little chill on the grape 🍷

Verse 3

Screen door swings in the evenin’ breeze

Crickets tune up in the sycamore trees

Fireflies flicker out past the drive

Like little sparks sayin’ we’re alive

Grass turned green just overnight

Leaves unfold in the golden light

And you step out laughin’ with two old glasses

Spring air cool and the moment passes slow

Bridge

All winter long we pushed and pulled

Cold gray skies and the days were full

But nights like this make a body see

How good slow livin’ can really be

Final Chorus

Put a little chill on the grape

Let tomorrow learn to wait

Kick your worries at the gate

Let the good things marinate

When the world runs hot and it’s more than we can take

Put a little chill on the grape 🍷
