She came from the middle of nowhere A sleepy Pennsylvania town Her mother held her guilty for so long Till she finally put those burdens down He spent his whole life on city fair His window played the evening sun And it's hard to believe for a strong man But he surely was a lonely one She took the morning shift downtown It's strange to be his favorite place And after every single customer was cruel enough He was the only one to smile and say Thank you for the coffee A simple conversation Thank you for the light shining in your eyes It's taken such a long time to find someone to talk to And I know it ain't much But thank you for your time And it's hard to find a kindred soul And people are so unkind And little things drive you crazy Stay locked away in your mind And so they say that, Frankie and Johnny were lovers Just like Romeo and Juliet But time never listens to fairy tales So love had met the bitter end He went back to his city life And Pennsylvania called her name But you keep on livin', trying to find Someone with the time to say Thank you for the coffee A simple conversation Thank you for the light shining in your eyes It's taken such a long time to find someone to talk to Girl I know it ain't much But thank you for your time
