[00:00.00]Instant Coffee Blues - Guy Clark
[00:14.61]He washed all the road dirt from his face and from his neck
[00:21.17]And sat down at her table and she picked up his check
[00:27.53]And she took him home for reasons that she did not understand
[00:34.27]And him he had the answers but did not play his hand
[00:40.82]For him he knew the taste of this wine very well
[00:47.81]It all goes down so easily but the next day is hell
[01:05.85]Morning -"Man was I drunk" she wispered in the shower
[01:12.71]While he lay there and smoked his way there through the final hour
[01:20.08]And she felt wholly empty like she'd felt it every time
[01:26.50]And he was feelin' just the same 'cept he was tryin' to make it rhyme
[01:33.68]Time was of the essence so they both did their best
[01:40.17]To meet up in the kitchen feelin fully dressed
[01:47.28]She just had to go to work and he just had to go
[01:53.88]And she knew where and he knew how to blow it off and so
[02:00.49]They shot the breeze quite cavalier to the boilin' of the pot
[02:07.45]And sang the Instant Coffee Blues and never fired a shot
[02:14.44]And him he hit the driveway with his feelin's in a case
[02:20.99]And her she hit the stoplight and touched up her face
[02:27.82]So you tell them the difference between caring and not
[02:34.31]And that it's all done with mirrors lest they forgot
[02:41.05]I said it's all done with mirrors of which they have none
[02:48.17]To blend the instant coffee blues into the morning sun
