Wine in a Coffee Cup

Alarm clock rings, same old thing

6:35, same routine

All dolled up and ready on the road by 8

Does her makeup on the way, she's never been late

Nobody at work has any idea

How much she's hurtin' when she walks in

She hides it so well, you'd never know what's going on

Self-medication all day long

There's wine in her coffee cup

That's her undercover pick me up

She runs the show from 9 to 5

Her Hollywood smile is just a big disguise

It's the oldest known remedy

To hide in from reality

Every taste and all messed up

From a wine in a coffee cup

Every afternoon on the way home

Stops at the liquor store all alone

Gets whatever it takes for her to stay numb

And she pours another when the morning comes

There's wine in her coffee cup

That's her undercover pick me up

She runs the show from 9 to 5

Her Hollywood smile is just a big disguise

It's the oldest known remedy

To hide in from reality

Every taste and all messed up

From a wine in a coffee cup

Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay

Pinot, mix it all, go away

Wine in her coffee cup

That's her undercover pick me up

She runs the show from 9 to 5

But her Hollywood smile is just a big disguise

It's the oldest known remedy

To hide in from reality

Every taste and all messed up

From a wine in a coffee cup
