Well David rolled out before the rooster crowed

Black Sea Shines and a long dirt road

GBR-17 sittin' proud on the shelf

But he won't touch nothin' till he caffeinates himself

He's got whiskey business runnin' through his brain

Ozark blood and a little bit insane

You can talk about shine you can talk about rye

But don't talk to David till the coffee pot's dry

He drinks coffee like an IV line

Drip drip drip just to keep him alive

Black as midnight strong enough to fight

Cup in the mornin' another one at night

You can keep your water keep your sweet iced tea

Hook that coffee pot directly to me

Forget that little mug keep the caffeine filled

David runs on beans while the whiskey gets distilled

Now GBR-17 brought the hardware home

Put a little more shine on that Ozark chrome

Folks raise a glass and say David have one

He says soon as this pot of Colombian is done

Got a mug in the truck and a mug by the chair

Emergency thermos damn near everywhere

If the coffee runs low better sound the alarm

That man guards a fresh pot like a family farm

He drinks coffee like an IV line

Drip drip drip just to keep him alive

Black as midnight strong enough to fight

Cup in the mornin' another one at night

You can keep your water keep your sweet iced tea

Hook that coffee pot directly to me

Forget that little mug keep the caffeine filled

David runs on beans while the whiskey gets distilled

Doctor said David you oughta cut back

David said Doc now why'd you say that

Doc checked his pulse then checked it again

Said I think I just counted a hundred and ten

David grinned said that ain't bad

You shoulda seen me before the second pot I had

When the sun drops low on the Table Rock shore

And everybody else says they can't take no more

David's still movin' with a cup in his hand

Like coffee was part of the original plan

There's whiskey in barrels and beans in the sack

And if either runs empty somebody better act

But if you're wonderin' which one keeps David fulfilled

It's the beans that keep him goin' while the whiskey gets distilled

He drinks coffee like an IV line

Drip drip drip and he's feelin' fine

Black as midnight strong enough to fight

Cup in the mornin' another one at night

You can keep your water keep your sweet iced tea

Hook that coffee pot directly to me

Forget that little mug keep the caffeine filled

David runs on beans while the whiskey gets distilled

Pour it black pour it strong

Keep that coffee rollin' on

Forget that little mug keep the caffeine filled

David runs on beans while the whiskey gets distilled
