Strong Black Coffee

歌詞

Whoa I drink pots and pots and pots and pots of strong black coffee Trying to keep my sleepy soul awake But the sleepiness still comes along and when it does its fast and strong I end up with a bad case of the shakes And my baby tells me honey cut it out Cuz she's familiar with the bend before the break But she's in this runaway with me and by god were doing fifty Comin' round that hairpin turn atop of wolf creek Now I called I'll be I'll be I'll be I'll be out soon free Tryin' to draw god out from his hiding place Either he can't hear what I'm saying or he just got sick of playing Either way, I'll be calling out like this for days And the cadence and the chords are all the same So I get anthem from a child in the streets And you know he ain't much for singing, but by god he's good at swinging And that's the reason that he won't stay obsolete And that's why he's singing, how, how long, how long must I wait He's singing, how, how long, how long will this whole thing take Cuz everyday... it's getting tougher to shoot straight Well I've read page, after page, after page, afters page About this killer instinct inside of me But love it, or hate it, praise it or berate it It's just what comes out most naturally And they warn me kid you'll run it in the ground If you keep on saying all the same things the same way But I ain't trying to make friends I'm just trying to make this story end And if you're drinking then you don't got time to plead And that's why I'm singing, how, how long, how long, must I wait I'm singing, how, how long, how long will this whole thing take
