INTRO: A-7 D7 A-7 D7 E7

VERSE I:
A-7 D7 A-7 D7 A-7 D7 A-7 D7
Hot coffee, open 24 hours – hot coffee, every booth has plastic flowers
A-7 D7 A-7 D7 B-7 E
Hot coffee, by the door are 18 wheelers for one tired old me
A-7 D7 A-7 D7 A-7 D7 A-7 D7
Hot coffee the road's so dreary at this hour, hot coffee, has my car been losing power
A-7 D7 A-7 D7 A Ab G Gb
Hot coffee just one sad eyed, washed out waitress for truckers and me
B-7 E
I gotta fortify my mind before I get back to the grind
D7 A
I'm stopping just thinking why am I here
D7 A
I'm wondering where is that glamour and cheer
D7 A Ab G Gb B- E
At home now, I could be happy and free, but who am I kidding I just gotta be me

VERSE II:
A-7 D7 A-7 D7 A-7 D7 A-7 D7
Hot coffee, guess I'll go on with my traveling hot coffee, though my life may be unraveling
A-7 D7 A-7 D7 A Ab G Gb
Hot coffee, I'll go on with my driving and then I'll unwind,
B- E
The road ahead is bumpy but I guess I don't mind

(solo – over A-7 & D7) E
N/C D7 A
I'm stopping just thinking why am I here
D7 A
I'm wondering where is that glamour and cheer
D7 A Ab G Gb B- E
At home now, I could be happy and free, but who am I kidding I just gotta be me (ritard.)
A-7 D7 A-7 D7 A-7 D7 A-7 D7
Hot coffee, guess I'll go on with my traveling – hot coffee, though my life may be unraveling
A-7 D7 A-7 D7 A Ab G Gb
Hot coffee, I'll go on with my driving and then I'll unwind,
B- E D7 A-7
The road ahead is bumpy but I guess I don't mind Hot Coffee....
