From the recording Love, Loss & Letting Go
Description: A classic country love song about a hard driving man and the woman who keeps him going. She can settle his soul just by flashing a smile. Some great imagery in the lyrics and a pristine but powerful melody that perfectly expresses the peace our working man feels when he comes home to this woman. It’s a potential pop/country crossover hit, because everyone who doesn’t have a relationship like this wishes they did.

Lyrics
Hell of a job I’ve taken now,
Hell of a week gone by,
Stayed on my feet though I don’t know how,
All that overtime.
But I’ll grill the steaks on our back deck,
We’ll sit alone a while,
I’ll brush back a strand of your auburn hair,
Then you’ll flash a smile.
You’re like cold wine
On a summer afternoon,
You ease my mind,
Like a Rocky Mountain view,
You’re the smooth vibe,
Of a Willie Nelson tune,
Even bad times are better with you.
I won’t say a word but I’ll look at you,
Watching the setting sun,
And I’ll know that this job I just can’t do,
Somehow I’ll get done.
When I think of the fools I’ve catered to,
And all of the fights I’ve fought,
It settles my soul just to be with you,
You’re the best thing I’ve got.
You’re like cold wine
On a summer afternoon,
You ease my mind,
Like a Rocky mountain view,
You’re the smooth vibe,
Of a Willie Nelson tune,
Even bad times are better with you.
You’re like cold wine
On a summer afternoon,
You ease my mind,
Like a Rocky mountain view,
You’re the smooth vibe,
Of a Willie Nelson tune,
Even bad times are better with you.
