Lyrics
Bouffant hairdo, ne'er-do-well
Warm the car up, perfume smell
Work is there when love is gone
Smell of coffee, crack of dawn

Pheasant clucking, ice cold dew
Backseat shotgun, frosty slough
Chevy coughing, let's move on
Smell of coffee, crack of dawn

Hey there, Benny, is this your home?
Railroad cinders, styrofoam
Train a-comin', where's Lost John?
Smell of coffee, crack of dawn

Blue blue window, factory
Big bad boss man can't find me
Boxes piled up, paycheck gone
Smell of coffee, crack of dawn

Woman works and man does too
Yellow paper, same old news
Forty years to cross the lawn
Smell of coffee, crack of dawn

Fired this one up just as I was finishing a cup of strong black tea... Now I wish I'd had a cup of coffee!
Nice lazy and organic feel to this. 
"Train a-comin', where's Lost John? Smell of coffee, crack of dawn"---LOVE IT!:-)

Not a coffee drinker, but I love the aroma. The lyrics and music evoke that aroma and the feel of a cool, crisp morning.
Enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing!

Reminds me a bit of Chris Issak ..but all your own originally.. this is one those songs I think of as being 'visual'..There is a very nostalgic feel to this.. 1940's.. Impressive from you both

Reminds some old Pink Floyd songs (between 68 and 72). Great production Dyl. Will take my second cup of coffee now :-)

This is a "cruising through the mountains on a summer night" chill song. Dang, I thought the perculating coffee was a bong hit.

Nice & moody, Dyl. I know I barely catch a fraction of your output but it's always solid, man.
