Black Caffeine - Emmylou Harris, Rodney Crowell

I like it black, just black as night

It keeps me up, it keeps me tight

It don’t matter the size of the cup

Just as long as you fill it up

With black caffeine

Keeps me lean

You can hear me scream

Give me black caffeine

Oh I’ve got a monkey sittin' on my back

Now, wouldn’t you know, he likes it black

Don’t need no cream, no nicotine

All that monkey need is the black caffeine

More black caffeine

It keeps me lean

You can hear him scream

Give me black caffeine

Give me black caffeine

I’m sound in body, I’m sound in mind

Until it comes to my coffee time

Don’t stand in my way, don’t hold me back

Just keep it hot and keep it black

Good black caffeine

It keeps me lean

You can hear me scream

Give me black caffeine

The devil said, I want your soul

I want your silver, I need your gold

Well you can have it, anything I’ve got

But don’t let him near my coffee pot

Full of black caffeine

It keeps me lean

Can you hear me scream?

Give me black caffeine

More black caffeine

It keeps me lean

Can you hear me scream?

More black caffeine

More black caffeine

Yeah, black caffeine
