One More Cup of Coffee

Your breath is sweet, your eyes are like

Two jewels in the night

Your back is straight, your hair is smooth

On the pillow where you lie

But I don't sense affection

Or gratitude or love

Your loyalty is not to my

But to the stars above

One more cup of coffee for the road

One more cup of coffee for I go

To the valley below

Your Daddy, he's an outlaw

A wanderer by trade

He'll teach you how to pick and choose

And how to throw the blade

He overseas his kingdom

So no stranger does intrude

His voice it trembles as he calls out

For another plate of food

One more cup of coffee for the road

One more cup of coffee for I go

To the valley below

Your sister sees the future

Like your mama and yourself

You've never learned to read or write

There's no books upon your shelf

Your pleasure knows no limit

Your voice is like a meadow lark

But your soul is like the ocean

Mysterious and dark

One more cup of coffee for the road

One more cup of coffee for I go

To the valley below
