Coffee Shop - Sheryl Crow

I never meant this long to stay

I’ve lived here, it seems like yesterday

It feels like that in a coffee shop

I live upstairs with three other girls

And it’s not free

The babysitter’s on her way

They don’t hear me down here

Singing, screaming loud and clear

Free refills for everyone

I hang out long enough, and I could be someone

I send my family postcards

I tell them just how hard

That I’ve been working in a coffee shop

And, hey, guess what, Dad?

I’m saving every tip I ever had

To pay off this here guitar

And they don’t hear me down here

Singing, screaming loud and clear

Free refills for everyone, yeah

I hang out long enough, and I could be someone

Officer Frank, he stumbles in

Two donuts, oh, this coffee’s too thin

He throws his guns up on the counter top

Oh, that man is mean as hell

I’m sure he’s going to tell me all about it

In the better public coffee shop

And they don’t hear me down here

Singing, screaming loud and clear

Free refills for everyone

I hang out long enough that I could be someone

Yeah, I could be someone

I’m gonna be someone

Yeah, now watch me now, I’m going to be someone

And the beat goes on, and the beat goes on
