Cafe Girl You Really Changed My Ways

We were playin’ shows in mid-Tennessee (dodgin’) Biblical storms like we were sailors at sea Found a great place to eat in the town called Ville-de-Nash Where they serve great coffee, fried pickles, and hash Drinkin’ strong southern coffee to pass the time (I’m) Swappin’ stories with some friends of mine (when) I looked up to a big smile talkin’ down to me “How y’all doin? The refills are free” Café girl, you really set things ablaze I was king of my world but in one big haze (now) I want your sweet smile in every one of my days Café girl, you really changed my ways The band went onto Memphis, last show on the road I stayed in Music City thinkin’ all systems go (but) After drinkin’ enough coffee to sink a ship I just couldn't help it and out it slipped Café girl, you really set things ablaze “I’m your Rhett dear Scarlett”, she laughed in my face Wasn't the reaction I’d imagined for days Café girl, you really changed my ways After a pause she saw the hurt in my eyes (and) Said “ok Rhett” to my great surprise (but) Told me I’d have to work harder than that (sayin) “Do I look like I need kissin’ badly and that?” Café girl, you really set things ablaze Who knew she was in a band in past days Singin’ the lead till partin’ ways Café girl, you really changed my ways Café girl, you really set things ablaze Let’s hit the road and see how it plays Café girl, you really set things ablaze Let’s hit the road and see how it plays

Well Shawn after laying bare your soul for all the waking world to see I really do hope it "plays" all right for you. Enjoyed the sincere implorations of your beseeching little verse. My regards! :) john
