I don't drink I just smoke

I don't gamble no more

And I don't use no toke

All I wanna do is be with you

Smoke my cigarettes and have some java brew

Make it black and strong that's what I need

'Cause when I think of love don't you know what I bleed

I bleed blues and rhythm and rock and roll

All that funky stuff that shakes up my soul

Drinking black coffee and cigarettes

Trying to remember what she told me to forget

When you love somebody then you split

You're drinking black coffee and cigarettes

Now coffee next to oil is the

Second greatest traded commodity

I don't know what that means

All I know I'm black and I'm blue

And I'm crazy for you

Sometimes I just want to scream

Go on and scream boy

Even Nostradamus couldn't name us

'Cause love is blind love is blind

And you can't see the future

You just say who's her

She's sure 'nough is fine

Drinking black coffee and cigarettes

Trying to remember what she told me to forget

When you love somebody then you split

You're drinking black coffee and cigarettes

I took a bus trip back in time

Round 66 when it was the main line

I saw teepees and motel design like events

And then I saw that place

Where we once spent

But nostalgia ain't what it used to be

When you take out the good parts

And leave in the misery

But if I had to do it again

You know I'd do it with you

It was dumb like sin yeah

Black coffee and cigarettes

Trying to remember what she told me to forget

When you love somebody then you split

You're drinking black coffee and cigarettes

I'm singing la la la la

La la la la

Yeah yeah yeah la la la la

La la la

I'm singing

Black coffee and cigarettes

Trying to remember what she told me to forget

When you love somebody

Drinking black coffee and cigarettes

Drinking black coffee and cigarettes
