Coffee Shop Queen Testo

Becky is a waitress at a bar downtown
She hardly ever goes outside without her frown
She's thinking of all the things that she could be
She sings every Thursday at a Coffee Shop
All the patrons are yelling at her to stop
but she keeps on strumming her guitar
just to keep her sanity
She's picking up her monthly paycheck
It's half as much as the one before
She knows she's gotta do something to change this
She knows she was meant for so much more
It's all she thinks about on her break
but the rent is due and her job's at stake
If she doesn't make music, she'll crack some day
I just wanna tell her that I feel the same way
She makes all her money earning tips at the bar
using her seductive expertise all to buy
prescription drugs and coffee mugs and classic rock LPs
She tells everyone to not feel sorry for her
it's just what she's used to
but then she turns away and cries in her hands
'cause she knows that it isn't true
She's afraid her life is heading
on a path to destruction
30 years old. Her clock is ticking
but she's not the only one
She wakes up every morning praying that it's the day
that everything will turn around and she can get away
from the drunken hordes at the downtown bar
and driving a poor excuse for a car
and she'll decide it was all worthwhile
and that angry frown will be replaced with a smile
but these thoughts are only passing dreams
Deep inside, she's only ripping apart at the seams
There's time for panic when all is lost
so she's holding onto hope, no matter the cost
But she should've struck when the iron was hot
Deep inside, she knows she deserved what she got
This constant struggle, just to get by
Everyday, it makes her wonder why
It's Thursday night, getting off work at eight
so she grabs her guitar. She wouldn't wanna be late
She knows there's something special about tonight
She plays her first set for the usual folks
Some clap and cheer but most just laugh and make jokes
She'd stand up to them but she doesn't like to fight
Then an unfamiliar man sits down
right in front, much to her surprise
he orders a latte and just stares into her eyes
She starts her second set and a smile lights up his face
And her usual angry frown, it vanishes without a trace
It's all she thought about on her break
when the rent was due and her job was at stake
She knew if she didn't make music, she'd crack someday
She just needed to know that he felt the same way
It's all she thought about on her break
When the rent was due and her job was at stake
But she knows, thanks to him, it'll be okay
'Cause she finally knows that someone feels the same way
