Coffee and Cigarettes
When I finally fi nished schoolIt was the first thing that I didWhat every townie kid dreams of,I packed and started westA thousand dollars I had savedAnd my sister’s two cassettes:The Dead from Fillmore EastAnd Otis Redding’s Greatest Hits
Coffee and CigarettesAs simple as it getsOf all the things I think I’ll miss,There’s staying up with youCoffee and CigarettesCoffee and Cigarettes
Then, I commit with some restraintTo a boy I thought might careIt didn’t work but I found out soonAnd never dug roots thereBeen a lot of places sinceBut nothing else comparesTo easy times and easy eyesTo meet you in a stare
