The Morning Coffee Blues

Woke up this morning, groggy as hell

Four nights in a row, that I didn't sleep well

My head feels like it was in a title bout

I hit my alarm, but it was all snoozed out

I got the blues, you know this ain't no news

I got the blues, my heart is one big bruise

And the only thing I know is all I do is lose, I got the blues

Shuffled into the kitchen, my wife waiting for me

Started the yelling, I swear that woman is half Banshee

Said if I don't get a job today

She'll take the kids and leave, with no delay

I got the blues, you know this ain't no news

I got the blues, my heart is one big bruise

And the only thing I know is all I do is lose I got the blues

To start my day I needed to wake myself up

Went to the sink and got my trusty coffee cup

But the pot was empty, just my luck

Shook my my head, and said, "guess I'm...screwed"

I got the blues, you know this ain't no news

I got the blues, my heart is one big bruise

And the only thing I know is all I do is lose, I got the blues.
