Instant Coffee Blues - Guy Clark[00:00:00]
He washed all the road dirt from his face and from his neck[00:00:14]
And sat down at her table and she picked up his check [00:00:21]
And she took him home for reasons that she did not understand [00:00:27]
And him he had the answers but did not play his hand [00:00:34]
For him he knew the taste of this wine very well [00:00:40]
It all goes down so easily but the next day is hell [00:00:47]
Morning - "Man was I drunk " she wispered in the shower [00:01:05]
While he lay there and smoked his way there through the final hour [00:01:12]
And she felt wholly empty like she'd felt it every time [00:01:20]
And he was feelin' just the same 'cept he was tryin' to make it rhyme [00:01:26]
Time was of the essence so they both did their best [00:01:33]
To meet up in the kitchen feelin fully dressed [00:01:40]
She just had to go to work and he just had to go [00:01:47]
And she knew where and he knew how to blow it off and so [00:01:53]
They shot the breeze quite cavalier to the boilin' of the pot [00:02:00]
And sang the Instant Coffee Blues and never fired a shot [00:02:07]
And him he hit the driveway with his feelin's in a case [00:02:14]
And her she hit the stoplight and touched up her face [00:02:20]
So you tell them the difference between caring and not [00:02:27]
And that it's all done with mirrors lest they forgot [00:02:34]
I said it's all done with mirrors of which they have none [00:02:41]
To blend the instant coffee blues into the morning sun[00:02:48]
