One More Cup Of Coffee

Your breath is sweet and weak

Your eyes are like two jewels in the sky

Your back is straight, your hair is smooth

On the pillow where you lie

But I don't sense affection

No gratitude, no love

Your loyalty is not to me

But to the stars above

 

 

[Chorus]

One more cup of coffee for the road

One more cup of coffee before I go

To the valley below

 

 

 

[Verse 2]

Your daddy, he's an outlaw

And a wanderer by trade

He'll teach you how to pick and choose

And how to throw the blade

He oversees his kingdom

So no stranger does intrude

His voice it trembles as he calls out

For another plate of food

 

 

[Chorus]

One more cup of coffee for the road

One more cup of coffee before I go

To the valley below

 

 

[Verse 3]

Your sister sees the future

Like your Mother and yourself

You don't know how to read or write

There's no books upon your shelf

But your pleasure knows no limits

And your voice is like a meadowlark

Your heart is like the ocean

Mysterious and dark

 

 

[Chorus]

One more cup of coffee for the road

One more cup of coffee before I go

To the valley below
