Java Blues

Rick Danko

I walked into a diner

And the blonde behind the counter

She asked if she could help in any way

Hell, I knew by her smile

Her number I could dial

If I was in the need of company

But as I bought some Java

Instead she brought me a cup of chicory

I got those Java blues

Coffee's got me

Java blues

Oh coffee, coffee, coffee

Java blues

Coffee's got me

Java blues

Oh coffee

You know that I'll stay high

I'll drink coffee ‘till I die

Don't pour me water just fill up my cup

You know it takes a lot just to keep me up

Cost may be more than you care to pay

What good is money compared to fightin' pain

Don't try to cheat

It's impossible to beat

The only pick me up that's here to stay

I got those Java blues

Coffee's got me

Java blues

Oh coffee, coffee, coffee

Java blues

Oh coffee, oh coffee

Java blues

Coffee's got me

You know that I'll stay high

I'll drink coffee ‘till I die

The taste of Java is like a cocaine rush

Nobody's gonna stop me from drinkin' too much

Down in Bolivia the people are insane

They want as much for coffee as they do for cocaine

Don't try to cheat

It's impossible to beat

The only pick me up that's here to stay

I got those Java blues

Coffee's got me

Java blues

Oh coffee, coffee, coffee

Java blues

The coffee's got me now..

Java blues

Oh coffee, coffee

You know that I'll stay high

I'll drink coffee ‘till I die

I got the Java blues

Oh coffee, coffee

Java blues

Oh coffee, coffee, coffee

Java blues

Oh the coffee's got me

Java blues

Oh coffee, oh coffee

Java Blues!
