One cup of coffee, waitress, ain't quite enough
This highway life ain't what it seems
Tonight I find the roadbed pretty rough
Give me a donut and a dream

I think she likes me and I ought to hang around
Then I get to thinking I should try another town

I've tried to live one roadside diner at a time
Just pour it black, I don't take cream
Life must be something more than one cup for a dime
Tonight I need a donut and a dream

I think she likes me and I ought to hang around
But then I get to thinking I should find another town, in the morning

Life must be something more than one cup for a dime
Just pour it black, I don't take cream
One cup of coffee, waitress, ain't quite enough
Tonight I need a donut and a dream
Tonight I need a donut and a dream
