Song lyrics

I'm feelin' mighty lonesome
Haven't slept a wink;
I walk the floor and wipes the door
And in between I drink
Black coffee
Love's a hand-me-down brew
I'll never know a Sunday in this weekday room

I'm talkin' to the shadows
One o'clock till four
And Lord, how slow the moments go
When all I do is pour
Black coffee
Since the blues caught my eye;
I'm hangin' out on Monday
My Sunday dreams to dry

Now a man is born to go a-lovin'
And a woman's born to weep and fret
To stay at home and tend her oven
And down her past regrets
In coffee and cigarettes

I'm moanin' all the mornin'
Moanin' all the night
And in between it's nicotine
And not much hard to fight

Black coffee
Feelin' low as the ground
It's drivin' me crazy
This waitin' for my baby
To maybe come around
