Early Morning Coffee
Written by Damon Ward
Performed by Elisha Hobbs


Met a pretty pretty boy at the side of the road.
He turned around and gave me a smile - oooh.
He said now, come on girl don't you look so blue.
I've got something in my pocket and I'm gonna help you.
Yeah I'm gonna help you.

He pulled out a little book of poems and other things.
He read just a few of them, then he smiled at me again.
Some of them run home true, others I didn't understand.
I didn't feel at all surprised when he reached out and squeezed my hand – oooh.
He reached out and squeezed my hand.

And in his big blue eyes I could see
there may be just a little truth in the words he said to me.
And after he had read them all he turned around and said:
I wanna share just one more thing now this is what he read.
And this is what he said:

(Chorus)
From the early morning coffee to the TV late at night
in the heat of the moment caught out and stayed a freight.
Good looks and money don't you hold on too tight.
Cause the wind might just blow 'em all away.
And the wind might just blow 'em all away.

I bent down kissed him on the mouth and started on my way,
thinking lots about the boy and all he had to say.
Deep deep down in my soul I knew his words were true.
So I carried them in my hard and this is what I'm gonna do.
Yeah this is what I'm gonna do:

(Chorus)

I had to let these good feelings take me away.
I had no place to go, I had no place to stay.
And I've been walking down that old road for a long long time.
I guess you could say it's been a while since I've had a little peace of mind.
I had a little peace of mind.

(Chorus)
