[00:00.00]Instant Coffee Blues - Guy Clark
[00:14.54]Now he washed all the road dirt
[00:16.94]From his face and from his neck
[00:21.08]Sat down at her table
[00:23.99]And she picked up his check
[00:27.30]And she took him home for reasons
[00:30.32]That she did not understand
[00:34.40]And him he had the answers
[00:36.95]But he did not show his hand
[00:40.90]Cause him may knew the taste
[00:43.81]Of this wine very well
[00:47.54]It all goes down so easily
[00:50.69]But the next day is hell
[01:06.04]Morning man was I drunk
[01:09.73]She whispered in the shower
[01:12.64]While he lay there and smoked
[01:15.69]His way there through the final hour
[01:20.28]She felt wholly empty
[01:22.75]Like she'd felt it every time
[01:26.52]And he was feeling just the same
[01:29.34]Accept he was trying to make it rhyme
[01:33.54]Time was of the essence so they both did their best
[01:40.12]To meet up in the kitchen feeling fully dressed
[01:47.11]She just had to go to work
[01:50.46]And he just had to go
[01:54.00]And she knew where and he knew how
[01:57.31]To blow it off and so
[02:00.53]They shot the breeze quite cavalier
[02:03.85]To the boiling of the pot
[02:07.30]And sang the Instant Coffee Blues
[02:11.09]And never fired a shot
[02:14.34]And him he hit the driveway with his feelings in a case
[02:21.26]And her she hit the stop light and touched up her face
[02:27.98]So you tell them the difference between caring and not
[02:34.28]And that it's all done with mirrors lest they forgot
[02:41.12]I said it's all done with mirrors of which they have none
[02:48.33]To blend the instant coffee blues into the morning sun
