Down in the Ozarks where the Table Rock rolls

David built Black Sea Shines with some grit in his soul

He don't suffer fools, he don't swallow no line

And while you're makin' your move, he's already made nine

He'll sit there quiet with that look in his eye

Let you finish your story, let you give it a try

You think you're talkin' Tuesday, he's on Friday instead—

Ten steps ahead and three pots deep on the red

Coffee, coffee, keep it comin' hot

David don't need a cup, David needs the whole pot!

Black as a backroad, strong as a mule

Before that first cup, there's only one rule

Don't ask him nothin', don't tell him no news

Don't bring him problems he didn't ask you to choose

Forget that little mug—bring the IV instead

He's three pots deep and ten steps ahead

GBR-17 put a shine on the name

But David ain't a man just to live off yesterday's fame

There's a B51 and a B52

Two more bottles comin' with something to prove

He's thinkin' 'bout tomorrow while you're talkin' today

Already found the potholes and a better damn way

You can bluff, you can brag, you can puff up your chest—

He'll sip that coffee and politely dismantle the rest

Coffee, coffee, keep it comin' hot

David don't need a cup, David needs the whole pot!

Black as a backroad, strong as a mule

Before that first cup, there's only one rule

Don't ask him nothin', don't tell him no news

Don't bring him problems he didn't ask you to choose

Forget that little mug—bring the IV instead

He's three pots deep and ten steps ahead

But when the long day finally comes to an end

There's a different side known to his family and friends

All the whiskey and business can wait at the door

'Cause the people he loves are what he built it all for

He'll give 'em his time, give 'em all that he's got

Then somebody notices he's still holdin' the pot

"David, it's midnight!" — "Yeah, I know what you mean"

Then he pours one more cup like it's chamomile tea

Some men run on money

Some men run on pride

Some need eight good hours

To keep 'em satisfied

David needs his family

A plan nobody sees

And approximately forty-seven pounds

Of roasted coffee beans

He founded Black Sea Shines of the Ozarks with pride

With a stubborn little fire that he don't try to hide

B51, B52, there's always something new

And odds are while you're hearin' this, he's planned the next two

So if you sit with David and you're makin' your case

And that little half-grin starts creepin' over his face

Just stop right there, friend, save whatever you said

He knew where this was goin' ten minutes ahead

Coffee, Coffee, Keep It Comin' Hot!

David don't need a cup, David needs the whole pot!

Morning till midnight, Monday through June

He could drain a percolator by the light of the moon

He loves his family, his whiskey, his crew

He's got B51 and a B52

But if you wanna know what keeps that motor fed—

It ain't the whiskey—

It'S The Coffee Instead!

"David, you want another cup?"

That's a stupid question
