Chadwick Stokes - Coffee and Wine lyrics

Tommy, you know, he had one deaf ear Back from his mine sweeping days You never could tell just what he could and could not hear And he intended to keep it that way He joined the Navy just like his Daddy done When he was of the rightful age He took off right quick like many a kid did When he parents took hard to the drink And now it's coffee like it's fine wine, wine like it's water Any time's a good time so go unlock your daughters With his motorcycle friends, they're going off again From the Black Sea all the way to Britain All the way to Britain She was a dame of New Jersey fame, Lived her life like it was a Bourre game And if there were sides being taken You better believe you wanna be on the side she was on She went to the city for secretary school Ended up working for the CIA She had a short hand that didn't suffer no fools She intended to keep it that way And she drink coffee like it's fine wine, wine like it's water Any old time she could ride any horse she wanted And if you gonna ride then you ride it like you stole it from a steeple chase She drink coffee like it's fine wine, wine like it's water Boys tried to give chase but no one ever caught her Till she found her love, and Sheila didn't let Tommy sleep for days Their first meeting was hardly a word But he built her a harpsichord And he found her unconscious just inside the door And carried her to help Now every now and again She pretends to faint on the harpsichord bench And he picks her up again and carries her up to their bed And they drink coffee like it's fine wine, wine like it's water Any time's a good time cause now they have a daughter And she rides so fast, they said they gonna name her Farley They drink coffee like it's fine wine, wine like it's water Don't ask what kind, it's just the kind our parents brought us From the Black Sea shore and the girl next door who could ride They drink coffee like it's fine wine, wine like it's water Any times's a good time cause now they have a daughter And she rides so fast, they said they gonna name her Farley They drink coffee like it's fine wine, wine like it's water Don't ask what kind, it's just the kind our parents brought us From the Black Sea shore and the girl next door who could ride
