Small Café, Big Stories
by CJ Frei
Lyrics
Verse 1
Old Joe swears he saw a black bear
Stealin' apples from the Joneses' tree
Miss Betty says it wasn't a black bear
"It was Carl before his morning coffee."
Two booths down they're talkin' weather
Like they're readin' from the sky
One says, "Rain by Wednesday mornin'."
Other says, "Well... don't ask me why."
Chorus
It's a small café, big stories
Growin' bigger every cup
By the time they reach the front door
Nobody knows what's true enough
Half of it's probably fiction
Half of it's gospel somehow
But if you're lookin' for a good story
Pull up a chair right now
Verse 2
Heard somebody say the sheriff
Caught a fish near thirty pounds
Other fella said, "Now hold on...
It was forty by the time it got to town."
Mary's cousin's nephew's brother
Might've bought the old mill place
Or maybe that's the Wilson family...
Depends on who you ask today
Bridge
Nobody's mean about it
Nobody's out to lie
The stories just keep growin'
Like fish and pumpkin pies
Final Chorus
It's a small café, big stories
Poured fresh every single day
Everybody leaves with somethin'
Different than what they came
You can keep your city headlines
We'll stick with what we've got
'Cause life's a little more entertaining
When the coffee's always hot
Yeah, it's a small café, big stories...
Lord, I love this little spot.
