Hello darling yes it's me, I'll take the same booth if its free
This diner feels like my only friend
Only the lord knows how much I've spent
On cups of coffee and scrambled eggs
The empty smiles help me pretend
Like I ain't alone and I'm still holding it together
You see I spent the whole day in bed
Wondering 'bout what I should have said
And now she's gone she took our dogs and all my records
So I think I'm gonna order something new
Gotta feeling it's the type of mornin'
Where coffee just won't do
Cuz' I still smell your shampoo on the pillows on our bed
And the sight of you walking away still racing 'round my head
Because I thought this morning I'd be better off dead
Forget my usual darling, oh instead
I'll have the whiskey and eggs
Oh my mamma she told me
There's other fish out in the sea
But these cliche's and turns of phrase don't make it better
So to drown these memories
I'll take one more whiskey make it neat
And if you see my baby please would you just tell her
That I know I can't keep waking up past noon
But I never saw the sunrise till
I woke up next to you
Cuz' I still smell your shampoo on the pillows on our bed
And the sight of you walking away still racing 'round my head
Because I thought this morning I'd be better off dead
Forget my usual darling, oh instead
I'll have the whiskey and eggs
But as the bourbon poured
You came in through them diner doors
Took your old familiar seat and started to speak
Hello darling yes it's me
I knew just where you would be
How bout we switch to some coffee and talk things over?
