Cup of Coffee Lyrics by Ramblin’ Jack Elliott

Kerouac’s Last Dream

0

Just dropped by to get a cup of coffee, now
Just dropped by to grab a cup of coffee
Don't gimme no whiskey, ain't got time for wine
I got to wheel this old semi down the line
[Spoken]
Well, I just dropped a load uh grain about forty miles up the road and I'm goin' up empty
This old trailer sure can bounce when it's empty, too—'bout to shake my kidneys loose
I seen yer light comin' in my windshield
Just black, just black . . . thank you
Ahh, that's kinda hot, you got somethin' to cool it off?
In the coffee, pour it in the coffee
Ahh, that's better
Hey, that's good . . . you make this stuff yourself?
You oughta bottle it
Well, that old truck burned out a year ago, I gotta brand new rig workin' out there, look out the winda
Them West Coast aluminum front wheels, twin screws, twin stacks
Got a Cummin 335 with a four-by-four
Got an air-conditioned sleeper
Got my lights rigged up like a Christmas Tree, keep all them drivers awake, blinkin' their lights
Oh, she's fine, they're all fine, I talked to her yesterday, how's Flo?
Yeah, another, yeah, just another
Ahh, well well, this is fine, this is fine, I better get on the road here
Where's my hat . . . cap . . . hat . . . where's that, uh, Siamese cat?
I'll take 'em with me, could use a little company
That's alright, I can walk by myself, just look out, turn me loose, George! I can walk!
Ooh, stepped right in the flower bed; I'm in the petunias!
Haha, that's alright, couch is fine, couch is fine
I don't need no pillow: just throw a blanket over my feet, wake me up around four
No, you better leave that foot on the floor, that's my clutch foot
Put that thing up on the couch, I'll never wake up
Alright, goodnight
You be sure an' wake me now
What time is . . . alright, goodnight
I just stopped by to get a cup of coffee now
Just stopped by to grab a cup of coffee
Don't gimme no whiskey, ain't got time for wine
I got to wheel this old semi down the line
