Sheryl Crow Coffee Shop lyrics

I never meant this long to stay
I've lived here, it seems like yesterday
It feels like that in a coffee shop

I live upstairs with three other girls
And it's not free
The babysitter's on her way

They don't hear me down here
Singing, screaming loud and clear
Free refills for everyone
I hang out long enough, and I could be someone

I send my family postcards
I tell them just how hard
That I've been working in a coffee shop

And, hey, guess what, Dad?
I'm saving every tip I ever had
To pay off this here guitar

And they don't hear me down here
Singing, screaming loud and clear

Free refills for everyone, yeah
I hang out long enough, and I could be someone

Officer Frank, he stumbles in
Two donuts, oh, this coffee's too thin
He throws his guns up on the counter top

Oh, that man is mean as hell
I'm sure he's going to tell me all about it
In the better public coffee shop

And they don't hear me down here
Singing, screaming loud and clear
Free refills for everyone
I hang out long enough that I could be someone

Yeah, I could be someone
I'm gonna be someone
Yeah, now watch me now, I'm going to be someone
And the beat goes on, and the beat goes on
