Instant Coffee Blues Songtext
von Jamie Lin Wilson feat. Jack Ingram

He washed all the road dirt from his face, from his neck
Sat down at her table, she picked up his check
And she took him home for reasons that she did not understand
Him, he had the answers, but he did not show his hand

′Cause him, he knew the taste of this wine very well
It all goes down so easy, but the next day is hell

Morning
"Man, was I drunk," she whispered in the shower
While he lay there and smoked his way through the final hour
She felt wholly empty, like she'd felt it every time
He was feeling just the same, he was tryna make it rhyme


Time was of the essence so they both did their best
To meet up in the kitchen, feeling fully dressed

She just had to go to work, he just had to go
He knew where, and she knew how to blow it off and so
They shot the breeze, quite cavalier to the boiling of the pot
Sang the Instant Coffee Blues and never fired a shot

Him, he hit the driveway with his feelings in a case
And her, she hit the stop light and touched up her face
So you tell them the difference between caring and not
And that it′s all done with mirrors, lest they forget
Said it's all done with mirrors, of which they have none
To blend the Instant Coffee Blues into the morning sun
