Lyrics

Chorus:
I blame this morning's cup of coffee at your table
On last night's shot of whiskey at the bar
You walked in and you walked up
"Can I buy you a drink, baby?"
I said yes and hey-now here we are
I said yes and hey-now here we are

Verse 1:
I've looked into the eyes of a thousand guys
through the bottom of their beers
In the cigarette glow they all look just the same

I've heard every line a thousand times
and I'd roll my eyes and leave them behind
Until you said, "Hey, sweetheart, what's your name?"

Chorus:
I blame this morning's cup of coffee at your table
On last night's shot of whiskey at the bar
You walked in and you walked up
"Can I buy you a drink, baby?"
I said yes and hey-now here we are
I said yes and hey-now here we are

Verse 2:
Now I'm sneakin' down these creaky stairs
to see what I will find
Are you who I thought or was it all a dream?

Were you true or were you fakin'?
Or am I just a fool
to leave my matchmakin' to ole Jim Beam?

Chorus:
I blame this morning's cup of coffee at your table
On last night's shot of whiskey at the bar
You walked in and you walked up
"Can I buy you a drink, baby?"
I said yes and hey-now here we are
I said yes and hey-now here we are

Verse 3
No one plans a one-night stand
and you never know it is
Until you wake to find you're all alone

But when I woke instead of crying
I smelled coffee and bacon fryin'
and this strange house felt like a home

Chorus 2:
So for this morning's cup of coffee at your table
I give thanks to last night's whiskey at the bar
You walked in and you walked up
"Can I buy you a drink, baby?"
I said yes and hey-now here we are
I said yes and hey-now here we are
