Strong Coffee

I like strong coffee and I like strong men
I write strong words with a metal pen
I've got this way of thinking things wrong
makes life hard but it makes a good song.
I like weed that'll knock you off your feet
they say it's got the same effect as me
see I know they are just talking
and that boys do that real well
but I've only got money for one ticket
and honey I don't want to go to hell

So I'll just put on my coat
smoke this joint and hit the road
ain't nothing wrong with letting go
you were a wild ride
you made me feel alive
but aint nothing wrong with letting go

I like being dead last and I like dead ends
I like every single one of my shady friends
they know that the life I'm leading
is solitary but I need them
I like dogs but not the ones holding the leash
those are the ones I've found have the sharpest teeth

So I'll just put on my coat
smoke this joint and hit the road
ain't nothing wrong with letting go
you were a wild ride
you made me feel alive
but aint nothing wrong with letting go

What's that they say about finding out
you aren't the person that you thought
that's when you are left with who are
Do you feel good or do you just feel caught?
Because you don't want the things you got
Like me and the things that I want

So I'll just put on my coat
smoke this joint and hit the road
ain't nothing wrong with letting go
you were a wild ride
you made me feel alive
but aint nothing wrong with letting go

I like strong coffee and I like strong men
can't find that here so off I go then
ain't nothing wrong with letting go
