Coffee and Cigarettes

Lyrics

[Verse 1] When I finally finished school It was the first thing that I did What every townie kid dreams of I packed and started west A thousand dollars I had saved And my sister's two cassettes The Dead from Fillmore East And Otis Redding's Greatest Hits [Chorus] Coffee and cigarettes As simple as it gets Of all the things I think I'll miss There's staying up with you Coffee and cigarettes Coffee and cigarettes [Verse 2] Then, I commit with some restraint To a boy I thought might care It didn't work but I found out soon And never dug roots there I've been a lot of places since And nothing else compares To easy times and easy eyes To meet you in a stare [Chorus] Coffee and cigarettes As simple as it gets Of all the things I think I'll miss There's staying up with you Coffee and cigarettes Coffee and cigarettes [Guitar Solo] [Verse 3] When I finally finished school It was the first thing that I did What every townie kid dreams of I packed and started west [Chorus] Coffee and cigarettes As simple as it gets Of all the things I think I'll miss There's staying up with you Coffee and cigarettes [Outro] There's staying up with you Coffee and cigarettes Coffee and cigarettes There's staying up with you Coffee and cigarettes
