Gourmet Coffee Blues
(c) 2004 Christy Snow

I was driving one day, up around mid Illinois
I saw a sign off the interstate said
Gourmet coffee, come enjoy
So I hit the exit hard and fast and
Followed a point two mile sign
And as I snaked through those cornfield it
Felt more like 29
Then finally I found Casey?s coffee shop and
Much to my surprise
Casey?s was actually a circle K, hmm in disguise

Chorus
Well this is my only vice
Well there?s also chocolate and my baby?s eyes
There?s only a few things, I don?t want to let go
My dog, my baby, my chocolate, and my cup a joe

So I kept my eyes on the mental prize of a steaming cup of joe
Drove on in population 210, where not many had dared to go
I walked in the store asking about coffee gourmet style
She said yeah honey help yourself just push the button
It?s right there, the machine is right there in the candy isle

Chorus

Now the moral to the story, oh if there has to be one
Is that gourmet doesn?t mean the same thing
Oh to everyone
So I recommend a traveling coffee press and
Oh and then you
Can be rid, rid of your, gourmet coffee blues
Chorus
