REAL GOOD CUP OF COFFEE

I?M A REAL GOOD CUP OF COFFEE
AH HOO....

I?M SITTING NEXT TO A CIGARETTE AT 1 AM I?M FLOATIN? IN A PORCELAIN MUG
WITH A CRACK ON THE HANDLE
HOW BOUT ANOTHER SLICE OF APPLE PIE, FIGHTING THE FIGHT BY BUYING TIME
SAVE A FAMILY MAN FROM JACK DANIELS

WANNA GET HIM HOME SAFE TO THE KIDS AND HIS WIFE KATE
SO TOMORROW MORNING WHEN I PERCOLATE
HE?LL SMELL THE ROASTED BEANS
TAKE ONE SIP OF ME AND SAY
THAT?S A REAL GOOD CUP OF COFFEE
AH HOO....

NOW IT?S 9 AM SUNDAY MORN? I?M KEEPING HIM AWAKE AND HIS HANDS WARM
AS HE SINGS FROM THE HYMNAL
WITH EVERY SCRIPTURE AND EVERY VERSE HE FELT GOD?S LOVE QUENCH HIS THIRST
SO HE DROVE HOME, EMPTIED THE BOTTLES

HE POURED THEM DOWN THE DRAIN FOR THE KIDS AND HIS WIFE KATE
THAT NIGHT AT A MEETING HE STOOD AND SAID HIS NAME
THEN HE SHOOK HIS SPONSOR?S HAND
THEY MADE A TOAST WITH ME AND SAID...
HERE?S TO A REAL GOOD CUP OF COFFEE
AH HOO...

I?M A REAL GOOD CUP OF COFFEE
AH HOO....

(REPEAT 1st VERSE)
