Coffee Every Morning

Pulling out of that KOA
On the road in our Chevrolet
Turn right at the Texaco
Then anywhere we wanna go
I know I’m gonna get there next to you

And baby I know wherever we go
Got the wind at our backs and the sun comin' through our windows
Burning down the tread on four wheels
High on life and lovin' you
We can do whatever we want to
Finally as free as we feel
And I’ll go down this road, If you steer

Forget the map, all the rules
Everything you learned in school
Drive under the Texas sky
The slow road gets us there in time
I know I’ll find my way if I’m with you

Why, when you’re away, do I miss you?
Is it just because I can’t kiss you?
Is it dishes in the sink or the lack of a wink?
Or just because I love my life with you?

I ran with you through our high school halls
You’re the prettiest girl there ever was
Annie darling, you’re so sweet
And I’m so glad we had the chance to meet
You caught my eye and you held my stare
I haven’t broken it yet for over fifty years
Thanks for letting me lay by your side
And all those kisses every night

We stared ourselves a family
The boys, they came one, two, three
And now, they have little ones of their own
And half of them are halfway grown
I followed you around the world
And I still think you’re the prettiest girl
And I got to dance with my best friend
So I’m the luckiest man that’s ever been

I wanna meet your mother

Baby, I’ve been hearing
Been hearing stories
‘Bout where you're from
What you wanna show me
Let’s make it happen
And I’m talking now
'Cause I can’t waste another day
Not knowing what you’re about

I wanna meet your mother
Wanna know your Pa
I wanna watch that sunset under southern skies
Near the water’s edge where the crickets call
Somebody might fall in love
We can pop a top, stay up all night
See where this goes, count the stars above
We still got a lot to discover
But first
I wanna meet your mother

I wanna take that backroad
Where you wrecked your first car
That bright red T-top
You didn’t get too far
We’ll hit that dance hall that I’ve heard so much about
I’ll be the new girl
The talk of this small town

When I meet your mother
When I know your Pa
When we watch that sunset under southern skies
Near the water’s edge where the crickets call
Somebody might fall in love
We can pop a top, stay up all night
See where this goes, count the stars above
We still got a lot to discover
But first
I wanna meet your mother

I don’t know where we’re going
And I don't know how this ends
I just know I’m ready for our story to begin

Got my baby in a covered wagon
Headin’ out on that road today
No way of knowing what’s before us
But the sun will shine and we’ll be okay

Shopkeep told one too many white lies
Shop closed down on judgement day
Lost that job but headed for a homestead
Westward like the Okies

Heartbreak smells a lot like freedom, the best-laid plans all go to waste
Done me wrongs ain’t done me nothing
But help to turn another page

Caught that man in the arms of a woman
Ten years she’ll look a lot like me
Stayed the night at my baby sister’s
Cursed his name relentlessly

I don’t want nothing I don’t have
And I don’t have nothing I don’t need
But I got all that a girl could ask for
Two hands to pray and a voice to sing
Two hands to pray and a voice to sing

Coffee every morning, Whiskey every night
The room is lit with candles and a fire in your eyes
We are lace and leather, as I lay by your side
I know I want you here, I just don’t know why

The only way I can survive
Coffee every morning, Whiskey every night

Blow the candles out and think about my life
How did I get here, and where am I going
He’s a beautiful man, but I know that I don’t love him

Coffee every morning, Whiskey every night
Stuck in this routine but it doesn’t feel like mine
A mix of pain and pleasure, when everything feels wrong
And I can only ask myself to be so strong

Coffee every morning, Whiskey every night
Another day is here and I’ve given up this fight
I need a change of weather or a change in the tides
Before I can find a life that even looks like mine
'Til Then I found a way I can survive
With coffee every morning and whiskey every night

There’s a little wooden swing down by the pier
The moss hangs by the pines, been hanging there for years
When I took your hand and walked down to the dock
You told me that you loved me, you weren’t ever gonna stop
and that’s how I know
I belong where you go

Someone’s momma wore this dress in 1953
I bet way back then she looked a little bit like me
In this vintage lace that we found on the road
In that dime-store way out west, we started talking ‘bout a home
and That’s how I know
I belong where you go

Anywhere, I’ll follow you,
The hills of Tennessee or the Emerald Ocean blue
Of nothing else, I’ve been so sure
That baby I belong where you are
Ahhh, Ahhh
Where you are

Bobby socks and dresses sewn in blue
Sooner than we planned, now everything’s brand-new
But you take her hand and walk down to the dock
I can tell you love her, boy
And you ain’t ever gonna stop
And that’s how I know
I belong where you go

Running down Thompson Ridge in old blue jeans
A triple backflip off a rusted tire swing
Broken arm and trophy scars
That’s one hell of a way to win a heart
Might kill him ‘fore we’re done
At least it keeps us young

Young, like summer nights
Dancing round in circles, bathing in the moonlight
Young, when you fall so fast
Busy being seventeen and hoping this love lasts
It might kill us ‘fore were done
Love keeps us young

He was smoking those cigarettes down by the dock
Racing my dad’s corvette against the clock
1950 classic red
That slow Patron buzz in our heads
Might kill me ‘fore we’re done
At least it keeps us young

Open arms, falling hard
Can’t keep up with this pace for long
I know I’ll still want you when you’re gone
And be young

I’m gonna love you no matter what
When the world starts kicking up dust
I’m gonna love you thought it all
When the winds howl and the trees fall

Babyת you can count on me
I don’t run when love’s not easy
I’ll be with you through this life
The brightest days and darkest nights with you
No matter what

They can run us through the rain
Spin the world around, try and drive us insane
But you got my heart in your hands
And this house wasn’t built on sand

And no matter what the world can throw our way
We’re catching fire in our veins and baby
It makes us strong
We fight our battles, face our fears
We’re crying mostly happy tears and I know
I know we belong
No matter what
