I'm feeling mighty lonesome

 

Haven't slept a wink

 

I walk the floor and watch the door

And in between I drink

 

Black coffee

 

Loves a hand me down brew

 

I'll never know a sunday

 

In this weekday room

 

I'm talking to the shadows

 

1 o'clock to 4

And lord how slow the moments go

When all I do is pour

Black coffee

 

Since the blues caught my eye

 

I'm hanging out on monday

 

My sunday dreams too dry

 

Now a man is born to go a lovin'

 

A womans born to weep and fret

 

To stay at home and tend her oven

 

And drown her past regrets

In coffee and cigarettes

 

I'm moody all the morning

 

Mourning all the night

 

And in between it's nicotine

And not much hard to fight

 

Black coffee

 

Feelin' low as the ground

 

It's driving me crazy just waiting for my baby

 

To maybe come around

 

My nerves have gone to pieces

 

My hair is turning gray

 

All I do is drink black coffee

Since my mans gone away
