I woke up too early on Saturday

And my coffee cream was runnin’ dry

But the milkmaid drops a bottle off at 8 And I ain’t too hard to satisfy

If I got nothin’ better to do

I guess I oughta get up and step outside

From the front porch I can feel the mornin’ sun, its enough to open up my eyes

I picked up the reigns of that smokin’ gun

Right where I set her down last night

Yeah, she got me thinkin’ I oughtta step out in the daylight, I could sho’ go for a drive

In my big block 455, I hold it steady

Pulled over at the Black Cafe, singin “lift me up, mrs marlene”

She poured me up some hot black coffee, pound of sugar, splash of cream

And when she rung me up the handed me a biscuit, and said boy you’re lookin way too lean

Yeah, she threw it in for free!

Thank you ma’am!

It was there on the corner in a store front daze

With a cool breeze up against my back

Shook so hard had to lift my shades

It was top thread, it was jet black

I know I want it

I know I need it

To keep me warm, keep me justified

You know I had to lay my money down

And don’t you know it fit just right

Oooooooh yeah

And I’m steppin’ out

Cause I got a new jacket now, yeah

Got a new jacket now

Got a new jacket now, yeah

I got a new jacket now
