Black cover and bad news is how my morning came
Black cover and bad news and somebody spoke your name
I stirred that cup till it went cold
Watch the smoke crawl past the pain
Some things don't need explaining
Some losses stay the same
Black coffee and bad news
Bold bitter going down
Black coffee and bad news
There's breakfast in this town
I don't need sugar in it, I don't need nobody's excuse
Just pour it dark and leave me with my black coffee and bad news
I could ask where you were headed, I could wonder what it means
But I'm learned not ever leaving, needs a woman on her knees
Black coffee and bad news, both bitter going down
Black coffee and bad news, that's breakfast in this town
I don't need sugar in it, I don't need another truth
Just pour it dark and leave me with my black coffee and bad news
I've had worse mornings I've had harder nights
A woman learns the difference Between losing and being right
Black coffee and bad news
Let the morning habit say
Black coffee and bad news
I'll still make it through the day
The cup gets cold eventually
So does everything you lose
Pour me one more cup of coffee
Keep the bad news
