CIGARETTES & COFFEE
Verse 1
Morning comes too early,
Night was way too long,
Cold black coffee on the table,
Old blues playing on.
Cigarette between my fingers,
Smoke is rising slow,
Girl, I keep thinking about you,
But I know I gotta let you go.
Chorus
Cigarettes and coffee,
That’s all I need today,
A little smoke, a little whiskey,
To chase these blues away.
Cigarettes and coffee,
While the whole world sleeps,
I’m trying to forget you, baby,
But your memory runs too deep.
Verse 2
Ashes in the ashtray,
Your picture by my bed,
Every cup I pour this morning
Brings back what you said.
Coffee’s getting colder,
But I light another one,
Maybe when the sun goes down,
I’ll finally move on.
Chorus
Cigarettes and coffee,
That’s all I need today,
A little smoke, a little whiskey,
To chase these blues away.
Cigarettes and coffee,
While the whole world sleeps,
I’m trying to forget you, baby,
But your memory runs too deep.
Outro
One more cigarette…
One more cup of coffee…
Then I’ll let you go.
Yeah, I’ll let you go…
Tomorrow.
