Java Blues Lyrics - Rick Danko

Stopped by a diner and the blond behind the counter 

Asked if she could help in any way 

I could tell by her smile, her number I could dial 

If I was in the need of company 

I asked her for some Java 

Instead she brought a cup of hickory 

A taste of Java is like a volcanic rush 

Nobody's gonna stop me from drinkin' too much 

Costs many more than you care to pay 

But money is nothin', compared to a fired up day 

Don't try to cheat, it's impossible to beat 

The only pick me up that's here to stay 

Java Blues, coffee's got me 

Java Blues, coffee, coffee, coffee 

Java Blues, well, the coffee's got me 

Java Blues, coffee, coffee, coffee 

You know that I'll stay high 

Drinkin' coffee till I die 

Java blues 

Won't you boil me water, fill up my cup? 

You know it takes a lot to keep me up 

Down in Bolivia the people are insane 

They want as much for Java 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
