[Verse 1]
Your breath is sweet and weak
Your eyes are like two jewels in the sky
Your back is straight, your hair is smooth
On the pillow where you lie

But I don't sense affection
No gratitude, no love
Your loyalty is not to me
But to the stars above

[Chorus]
One more cup of coffee for the road
One more cup of coffee 'fore I go
To the valley below

[Verse 2]
Your daddy, he's an outlaw
And a wanderer by trade
He'll teach you how to pick and choose
And how to throw the blade

He oversees his kingdom
So no stranger does intrude
His voice, it trembles as he calls out
For another plate of food
[Chorus]
One more cup of coffee for the road
One more cup of coffee 'fore I go
To the valley below

[Verse 3]
Your sister sees the future
Like your mother and yourself
You don't know how to read or write
There's no books upon your shelf

But your pleasure knows no limits
And your voice is like a meadowlark
Your heart is like the ocean
Mysterious and dark

[Chorus]
One more cup of coffee for the road
One more cup of coffee 'fore I go
To the valley below
