Coffee

Lyrics

Verse 1

Dad's got a pot on every mornin'
Has for as long as I recall
I stop by when I get the chance
Just to visit for a while

Sometimes we talk about the weather
Sometimes we talk about the hay
Sometimes we solve the world's big problems
Sometimes we just let silence stay

Chorus

It's just coffee in a couple cups
Steam risin' through the air
But somehow every time I leave
I carry somethin' with me there

Stories from the years behind us
Dreams we're still talkin' through
Funny what can happen over coffee
When you've got time to spend with you

Verse 2

He tells me things about my grandpa
Stories I ain't heard before
About old trucks and hard winters
And folks who don't live here no more

Then we'll laugh about somethin' stupid
Like we've laughed a hundred times
And I can almost see three generations
Sittin' around that table in my mind

Chorus

It's just coffee in a couple cups
Steam risin' through the air
But somehow every time I leave
I carry somethin' with me there

Stories from the years behind us
Dreams we're still talkin' through
Funny what can happen over coffee
When you've got time to spend with you

Bridge

And maybe someday years from now
One of my boys will stop on by
We'll sit and talk about nothin'
While the afternoon rolls by

And I'll tell a story I've told before
The way fathers always do
And he'll smile and let me finish
'Cause that's what family does

Final Chorus

It's just coffee in a couple cups
At least that's all it seems
But it's where the past and present meet
And make room for what's gonna be

One day I'll look back thankful
For every visit I got to do
For all the life we shared over coffee
And the time I got with you

Yeah, all the life we shared over coffee
And the time I got with you
